Books like The Siege

It was a long time coming for me to finish this 3 (4?) part series, and overall I would say it was well worth the time.Troy Denning is one of the first authors I ever read, and I think that I've read just about everything that he's written within Forgotten Realms. It's been interesting and fun to watch him progress as a writer. And I would say that this is one of his best works.One of the most fun things about this series is that Denning takes aspects of other books he's writen within the Realms and kinda twists them all together. There are giants from "twilight Giant" series, characters from his first stories during the "time of troubles", and of course the never boring "Chosen of Mystra" (who, no offense, I prefer the way Denning writes them to Greenwood's style).The entire series was quite the epic ride; when mindflayers and beholders are the least of your worries you know it is going to be intense. This book was kind of one continual climax, as the characters must topple the city of shade, fighting the evil shadowvar, and then rush back to evereska to save the mythal from the nefarious phaerim...in the end, the good guys win...
