12-18-06, 05:04 PM Hello. I tried to figure out where exactly to post this, couldn't figure it out, so I'm afraid I'll have to ask here. You probably get this question a lot; again, sorry :). I was wondering where to start in reading the novels; I'm very into Dragonlance, and want to start reading some other Wizards products. I checked some other sites, and it seems like chronological in order printed is best, I believe the first printed was Moonshae trilogy or something along those lines. Thank you!

12-18-06, 05:40 PM This is a difficult question to ask. Fortunately for you, FR is different from Dragonlance in that there is no one theme wherein you need to stay in order. In the FR, there are mega events but they are stand alone. So, it really boils down to whats the best book, which we're not allowed to discuss. There are many threads like this at Candlekeep.com where there is no ban

Then, it goes off into Wildspace, somewhere. Now, you have your basic intro in the world. Then, you just pick where you want to read up on next. Alternativley, you could pick up the novel Tymora's Luck, which is a Dragonlance-meets-Forgotten Realms-meets-Planescape. Again, a good cross-over introduction.

-I asked Elaine about it at the 'Keep, because she wrote one of the books, and she was "less than happy" about her own book, and the entire series, as a whole. But, yes, it is very cool when Cross-Overs like these happen.
