i never really likedd fantasy (aside from LOTR) until i stumbled across The Icewind Dale trilogy and started reading it because there was nothing else to read. And i fell in love with his characters. Couldn't put it down! After i finished i immediatley went out and bought the Dark Elf Trilogy, and i recommend this book to anyone who would like to try a fantasy novel that is easy to follow, straightforward, funny, touching and just awesome.
