I've bounced around several of the other boards for a while, but never here until today. I'm looking for a new fantasy series to start, and I stumbled across EG's name here... I get the vibes that his writing is not necessarily well liked here? Why?
Also, could anyone tell me books he's published in the series order? I know of "Making of a mage" but that's a prequel, isn't it? Which one should I start with? WHich was his first? TIA (And yes, I've read all of teh Drizzt books and I'm waiting for the Oct release of SoS... I'm just looking to kill some time with AD&D based novels.) |

<font color="white">In response to your question...</font>
<font color="gold">#1 ) Elminster, the Making of a Mage #2 ) Elminster in Myth Drannor #3 ) The Temptation of Elminster #4 ) Elminster in Hell</font> <font color="white"> The reason that some people, in my own words...feel that Ed does not write well is that he uses alot of women nudity where it is ridiculous to have it. He also makes Elminster out to be some sorta stud with the ladies, though he is over 1K yrs. Yet I love the above mentioned series for the story of the life of the most powerful mortal that walks the realms. </font> ------------------  Devoted member of the Ironworks Loyal guardian of the OHF Member of the Ancients' club Faith beset in The Rocks (they show the way, you know...  )[This message has been edited by Larry_OHF (edited 08-27-2001).] |

Have you read any of the "Band of Four" series? Are they any good?

I'm with Larry. I really liked the books, just don't tell Memnoch I said that.

Awww, guys, you're allowed to like Ed Greenwood. Let no-one's opinions be suppressed here. I'll just think you have no taste, that's all.
