Recently read the Lady Penetent series as far as has been released. I really enjoyed it. I liked the realms shaking or changing events. I also am up to date on the RAS novels and wondered if there is something else new out there that has oh, I don't know Gods dying cities being destroyed in seeming preperation for D&D 4th ed.? Also any other older series that is to good to miss. I have read all RAS, Harper's, Daughter of the Drow series, Avatar series. I am currently working on the Dungeon series which I am enjoying well enough. I also have read sword and song.
I would like to read some new stuff mostly to keep with whats new in the realms.

Well, if you like RSEs...
- Cormyr Trilogy (Cormyr, Beyond the High Road, Death of the Dragon), great read
- The Last Mythal trilogy, mostly a great read
- Return of the Archwizards trilogy, erm...I canīt personally recommend this one, but it is a RSE
- the ongoing Haunted Lands (Richard Lee Byers, great so far) and Twilight War trilogy (Paul S. Kemp and so far fantastic)
- Blackstaff by Steven Schend, fantastic novel
For older series or novels...geez, there are a lot of gems there. But if I have to choose one, then (for itīs a style I dearly miss) I suggest The Finderīs Stone trilogy by Grubb and Novak. īCause, well, you canīt beat Grubb and Novak at their thing. Thereīs even a God dying there...somewhere *wink*.
And anything with the name Greenwood as the author... |

I prefer the Year of Rogue Dragons and Paul Kemp's Everis Cale stuff to one's you have mentioned. |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

| Mhm...I prefer those, too (Kemp and Byers are Gods when it comes to writing style and may be the cream of the crop among what to me are the "newer FR writers"), but the first Cale trilogy wasnīt really a RSE, or am I forgetting something? (And I mentioned the second). And Rogue Dragons...hmm, except for Sammy, it was a lot less RSE than I had expected, so I was going more by the RSE request of hooper101, than personal preference(though I really, really liked the Cormyr trilogy and Blackstaff and I liked the bigger part of Last Mythal). |

True in that the first Kemp trilogy was not RSE. I disagree with your assessment that the year of Rogue Dragons was not since the entire Realms was under attack from raging dragons |
