A few fantasy series

Post by Morlock »

I know i've posted a few semi-related threads on this subject, but his is a different question.

I've just finished reading "Sea of swords",
oh ,um just in case you don't know: fourth book in the "paths of Darkness" series (quintet), fourtinth and so far last book in the Icwindale/Drizzt Dou'rden/Wulfgar/ Entreri series(I'm not sure about the official title) by R.A Salvatore.
This was the best series I've ever read, containing the best fantasy books I've ever read.
Salvatore is a genius.
Despite what a lot of people think, IMHO :p it is better (not by far, but still) than Lord of the rings and the hobbit simply because of the best literary Character (again only IMO) of all time:Artemis Entreri.
I love Entreri because of the cunning and brilliant ways he goes about his plans.He bring to mind the works of the great Hannibal Lecter(Of Silence of the Lambs fame) :cool: :D .

Any way on to the questions:
A.I've finished the first book in the first Dragon Lance series,(Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman) and I am deeply unimpressed with the book :( . Does it get better? is it worth it to continue reading? or should I just give up and go to another series?
B.Is the Clerics Quintet worth reading? I've heard it wasn't so great. :rolleyes:

Any answer would be appritiated. ;)

IMO..Dragonlance series doesn't get better...major stuff happens (i.e. dragon wars) but for me i hated the characters and it just really drug on for me....the whole twins thing is just a pain to read too :(

i would highly reccomend the Shanara series by Terry Brooks...all of his books rip hard and are equally as good as LotR...just read then from the start in order ;)
