I think after Legends, people should read (in this order):
Kindred Spirits
Wanderlust
The Soulforge (I do NOT recommend Brothers in Arms)
Flint the King
Tannis the Shadow Years (I just enjoy the book, even though some parts
don't fit)
Don't Read the Lost Chronicles (Dragons of Dwarven Depths, Highlord
Skies) until you've read Chronicles and Legends...
Elven Nations are definitely worth reading.
Also, Dragons of Summer Flame is NOT an amazing work of literature,
but is kind of essential if you're going to read DoaNA or WOS
I actually enjoyed the Dhamon Saga, so you might give that a try...
Maybe that's what we all should do on here... come up with a list of
ratings for the books... a five star system or something to show which
books we've enjoyed and which ones we could've passed on. It could be
posted in the FAQ
