I'm looking to jump back into the Forgotten Realms novels, and I understand that the world has been.....changed. The last novel I read was the conclusion to the "Hunter's Blades Trilogy" if that dates me.

Any suggestions for what to read next? Should I try to read them chronologically?

My gaming group will be beginning a FR campaign in the new year so having a semi-understanding of what's what will be helpful. Are there "pre-4e" and "post-4e" novels? Or are all the novels being published now set after the spellplague?

Thanks for the insight!

-The Barnes & Noble I go to still has them, the newer releases, though, with the newer cover. It depends on the bookstore, I guess. If you are looking for older books, you're best bet is to look online, or at comic book stores. One that I go to, from time to time, has a bunch of older books and/or books that have been rereleased (like the Avatars Series), but with the old covers.
