Pushing LJ's posting limits... with a post about books. :)

I finished R.A. Salvatore's Dragonslayer's Return tonight. As dlyman29 said, it's easily his best work. I absolutely loved this story. I wish he could do more like it. I wouldn't want to see more sequels per se, but I always love the time/dimension displaced traveller stories, moreso when they involve fantasy elements. Now, I think I'm going to read Neil Gaiman's Coraline next. I should be done with that by Thursday. After that, I'm going to finish Ian Irvine's Dark is the Moon and The Way Between the Worlds. After that, I believe I have some Thomas Covenant stuff by Stephen Donaldson to read. :)

unfortunately, no (I wish). the author made Krusk a bit dour (taking in the half part of the half-orc), but quite a bit on the wry side but not the classic big dumb barbarian... almost rangeresque, which is in keeping with the 3e version in my mind. But the gnome in Oath of Nerull was quite humorous... wisecracking and lighthearted.

honestly the books are worth it just for the extended characterizations of the archtypes. they really flesh out the classes quite a bit.

*nods* Okay. No big dumb barbarians. Check. *sigh* I'll still go ahead and pick up one of them, just to give them a go.

For now, though, my plate is rather full. :)
