-At the moment I like Salvatore's Legend of Drizzt.
Not the new Neverwinter series with Dahlia because the old companions of the hall were much better. I was sorry that they died. Esp when Catti could have lived a couple more years than being captured by a stupid Ghostking!
Agree with most of community on Goodreads, his style has slipped. Doesn't mean i won't read his stuff anymore, i will but not buy them.
-For James Barclay's raven series, I own Dawnthief the first one. I don't make a bad review personal, i've had the privilege of getting responses on his site :)) which is awesome! He's a humble and sentimental man, when u are immersed in the series, he bases the Raven on his group of friends. One thing i don't agree with is from book 4 onwards, the huge tragedies. That immortality is not wonderful, but a burden. (( See my prev post on why must elves die early? Won't do spoilers.
Many plots, even an anime movie i watched, called Phoenix Priestess, also centres around that theme.

The heroes/ heroines just Give up on life-- they are emotionally weary, even though now they have friends. For this heroine she had lived 400 years and she said ok, that's it. It's a parallel to how some of the cast i like in many series end up. :( I don't accept it! What about us? How can you leave us behind? Huh??
My rationale on disliking tragedy is, we Should maintain positive outlook on life!
Therefore i watch Top gear and some of these guys above. Some pple insist i should be like them, and must like their stories. No. I would not mind giving a review or two, for free even but not to be forced. There was a soldier won't mention his name, he wanted to extort my friendship for favors. Then he got all huffy when i said i don't like war fiction.
