Eberron

As I search for new reading material, I may give this book series a try. It's based on a D&D campaign setting. Never played the campaign, but then I've never played "Dragonlance" and that setting has produced a few good books. I tried some "Forgotten Realms" stuff, but R.A. Salvatore only seems interested in describing fights, much like Ed Greenwood. Internal characterization seems a rare element for those authors.

I may find the same to be true of Eberron, but at least the cover art looks neat-o, and I've got a 7-day used book return policy to protect me if it sucks. (Which reminds me, I should get this lame "Elminster" book back to them and recover my precious trade credit.)
