I'd say yes - would encourage me to read my copyLady Genni wrote:Got a question...when we get to the group read for The Illearth War are we going to include Gilden Fire (did I spell that right? - Sorry).
I'd like to get a copy and read it when it fits into the story of TIW, but I don't know what the group wants.

Here is another question...where exactly does it fit into the story. I know it's around the time that the Bloodguard (sorry don't remember his name) is telling the story of the Giants....does anyone know the chapter that you would insert it into? Or was it supposed to be a chapter all by it's self? Also, how do you get a copy?

It would probably fit in really well somewhere right after Korik's mission leaves. I think it was once published in a free standing form, but my copy is in a WONDERFUL short story collection by Donaldson called The Daughter of Regals. I'm not sure if it's still in print or not, but if it isn't you could try used book stores or maybe buy it used at Amazon. The title story is interesting because that world uses magic based on stone, wood, and blood. It's like he's finding another use for those three elements that are so important in magic in the Land. There's some other really good short stories in that book, too.

Perhaps we should suggest to Vain that Gilden-fire be inserted into it's appropriate place in TIW reads!!!! I love the idea--I've been dying to talk about it!

Lord Mhoram, please try to track down a copy. You'll love it! I also hope that we can group read it during or after IW.

It might be, fairly, easy to find in used bookstores...
