Ordered these last week when I finished the first trilogy about Drizzt, looking forward for a great read this summer
![]() also have the icewind dale trilogy and some other books about Drizzt that I read for a few years ago.

I tried reading one or two Elminster books some years ago but, in my opinion, the character was so over-the-top unbelievable and Greenwood made sure that his character was completely unkillable that I gave up. Why he didn't simply go ahead and promote Elminster to godhood I don't know, he was already two-thirds of the way there...at least before they moved the clock forward 100 years in the official Faerun timeline. That was done so they could kill off or quit using the old standard characters created by people like Greenwood, Jeff Grubb, etc.
My wife has been reading through all my Drizzt books. I think I am missing one or two--Orc King, Pirate King, one of the Thousand Orc trilogy, etc. and possibly the latest one the name of which I forget.

Just started reading Elminster, so far so good
![]() Azred, I can understand your feeling about Elminster though, but I really like epic characters that is almost unkillable ![]()
