Sorry, haven't read Salvatore ... but as a book-devourer
 I am always in the hunt for new writers - please tell me, which books should I start with ?I would put Robert Jordan and Robin Hobb along with Feist, though. ------------------   The world is my oyster ! And now I have the knives to open it ... |

u havent read salvatore????????????????
i thought anyone on this site must have read at least one. well then in that case i suggest u start off witht the dark elf trilogy: Homeland, Exile, Sojourn. From there there is the icewind dale series, the legacy of the drow, the silent blade, spine of the world, servent of the shard, and the upcoming sea of swords. if u like drizzt this is the man to read. hope this helps

Raymond E. Feist in my humble opinion. I have enjoyed Salvatore's books, but I believe Feist is a better 'craftsman' in writing. So Feist is better, but Salvatore rocks too!!

Never read Salvatore, but I'm a HUGE fan of Raymond Feist. Both "Magician" books, Silverthorn, and Darkness at Sethanon are my faves. I did play the "Betrayal at Krondor" game, and although I loved it, games just don't have the depth that authorship has. Still, it was good, although fairly easy after you got past a certain level.

I have to say that they´re very different writers. Feist is an author that writes mor "epic" and jumps between generations. His work is really good, and i love most of his books. His scenery isn´t one of the greatest, I mean Robert Jordan paints a beatiful painting in your mind while you read his books. You know exactly how many forks are at the table and so on. Feist is more to the general story. He brings it along beatiful as a whole and his little "zoom ins" on certain actions and events are also great.
Salvatore is more of a "action" writer. Fast action and alot of goings on. Battles between hundreds of foes or intense mano eh mano or womano e womano (hehehe) are detailed and really good. The main plots are a bit left behind the action, his language is easy and as advanced as it has to be. Both are good and well, i can´t really choose the better or worse of them. I fo know that i really like Drizzt as a character, but the immense struggle of Tomas and Pug are sooooo good and well, you have to read both of them, cause to choose is to loose in this fight! ------------------  WOLF WINS EVERY FIGHT BUT ONE, AND IN THAT ONE, HE DIES |

thats a pretty accurate reply wulfgir but still I think I prefer Feist even tho I love drizzt so much
but feist seems a more mature writer and able to make books that cover a wide epic scope as you said and i guess I just prefer that in a book.------------------  "I was born of darkness. My fathers eyes closed before mine opened. I am not of this world or the other, and I have the right to be what I am..." |
