*shrug* I read Dragonlance before I even considered the Realms, hence my reading Fistandantilus Reborn first |

I'm honestly not sure what the intent of the book was. It really has nothing to do with any other book; I think it was written independently and then shoved into the trilogy. |

Fistandantilus Reborn has no characters -- or connection -- to Finder's Bane. One character from the book, a kender, also appears in Tymora's Luck. Being a kender, his backstory from Fistandantilus really isn't important to Tymora's Luck. When I read all the books, I skip the Dragginglance one. |

Ironically enough I read Tymora's Luck first...then Finder's Bane and last but not least the trilogy...oh and I read Fistandantilus Reborn even before that... |

thank you for the clarification, Winterfox! |

Now I wonder if and how the Finder's stone trilogy books are connected to each other? They seem to tell 3 independant stories. And is Finder's Bane connected to that story as well? Or is the only connection between these books the obvious that they have the same authors? |

I only continued to go off topic because the OP was encouraging it, to a point, and because he finished completing the topic's task (reading the chosen trilogy)..
I'm not making excuses! I swear! *Attempts to make a Hide check.* |

A Beatle?
NOTE: I listen almost exclusively to foreign metal. The CDs I own include Nightwish, Moonspell, Therion, Tristania, Lacuna Coil, In Flames, The Rasmus, Theatre of Tragedy, Stratovarius, and Apocalyptica, with a small collection of modern American rock/metal, including Evanescence, Godsmack, Stabbing Westward, and Adema. But I far prefer the former group.
The majority of music isn't complex enough for me. |

I feel old when I rememebr being in the Beaver Scouts and talking with friends that there is a rumour that Darth Vader may be Luke's father and crying the day when my mother told me that the man that sung the song "Imagine" was murdered
I know I'm not that old, but it still feels like it, especially when you roleplay with kids 10-15 years younger than you |

Well they were originally written for Dragonlance. :) |

sheesh I feel old  ...I read both of those series as they came out...for the first couple of seconds after reading this thread I thought "I can't believe he hasn't read both yet!" 
For anybody young or new to the Realms did you know then that the original Azure Bonds and Pool of Radiance story line (before the novels) were in the same series?
And I also felt the Moonshea novels felt "outside" of the Realms (and the island kingdom still recieves little attention today) |

I haven't read either trilogy (yet) per se, but I loved Finder's Bane and Tymora's Luck. That should say something good about Grubb and Novak's work. |

I'll echo Big Al on this one. The Moonshae trilogy was one of those couldn't wait to finish, just so I'd be done reading them and could get on to something else.
The Finder's Stone books, now... The writing duo of Jeff Grubb and Kate Novak is a wonderful one. When it comes to Realms fiction, I would only place Elaine higher than them. Their stuff is some of the best we've ever had, and I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone. |

Eventually read the Moonshae books, but definately read the Finder's Stone trilogy first. |
