| Favorite Characters, Authors, Books, Etc.
Does anyone have a favorite author, character or series of books from the famed fantasy setting?
My personaly favorite has to Salvatore's Cadderly from the Cleric Quintet, and Ed Greenwood would be my favorite author (there would be no FR without him). Though I've read more of Salvatore's books than everyone else's combined, Drizzt has started to grow old IMO. He's become soft and preachy; Bob can't bring himself to kill off any of the characters (though sometimes I swear he tries and decides against it at the last second... see Bruenor's recent forays) and the little chapter prologues (or Drizzt monologues) were cute at first, but now have become whiny and annoying. Greenwood's characters never grow old and he has fleshed out the FR better than anyone else to date, as his stories take place all over the world. Anyway this is, of course, my opinion; what are your guys' thoughts? |
