I admit, I don't have it yet, but I expect to get to a bookstore in the next few days. Borders says it came out today, but Ao knows I couldn't get to the store today; that won't stop me later this week, though. 

I'm eagerly awaiting cracking this one open, especially since Swordmage and Corsair were gold. Hells, I'm practically salivating. So, who else is going to delve into this one? Furthermore, who here actually has it? (Use sblocks for any spoilers, please.)

I havnt read any of those books yet. Theyre definitely on my list though, I love the Moonsea area, so much going on there, awesome local for a campaign, and yet, they still have not given us a Moonsea article, or even a background!!!

Thanks for reminding me. Its one of the best Realms series I have read. To bad they aren't having a contest for a signed one. My Corsair is a signed copy I won.

Swordmage and Corsair both provide great insight into the Moonsea of the new age.* The lack of a background is disappointing, but one can use the books to gain an idea of what the average person originating from the Moonsea region might gain.

*Also, in Corsair's case:

a look at what the Tears of Selune are like in 1479 DR

Mine still has a loooooooong way to my home (He is in Texas right now, going to Florida; from Florida, to São Paulo - Brazil, and so, to my city, Porto Alegre).

I'm waiting to read this book since end of June 2009 (when I've finished Corsair), and I've being using some descriptions of both Swordmage and Corsair to illustrate my home campaign, and of course, the idea of tomb invasion being considered a crime is an obligation!!!! That is so cool about the region.

Anyway, kudos to Mr. Baker! I can say I'm a little bit less anxious fan now!!

Actually I got a copy (and read it) at the end of January.  Rich Baker signed and gave away advance copies of Avenger at DDXP.  I liked the tale, but then I generally like Rich's work.

I picked up my copy today actually, but I'm of the opposite opinion, where as I'm not a fan of his work. I just have an addiction and need to buy everything Realms, so what of it? :P

That said, it really was my little window into 4e before the edition hit shelves, and since I liked what I saw, the trilogy's first novel sold me on the 4e Realms.

I will probably start reading Avenger tonight, after I finish Paul S. Kemp's STAR WARS novel Crosscurrent. Which btw is a great read.

I started Crosscurrent last night and I read about 250 pages into the novel. I couldn't put it down!

I went to one of my local Borders yesterday and they didn't have any copies of Avenger.
I still have another one nearby in the opposite direction, but I don't really have the free time this week.

I did get Realms of the Dead (finally) and The God Catcher, though, so those will tide me over.
