my point is its not called forgotten realms, whatever you are reading, its in the general forgotten realms setting, but the series is called something different


if you just search forgotten realms on B&N you will get like 700 results

notice how it says "2.1"

2.1 is a category
each 2.1.x is a sub category
forgotten realms is the category

each series is a sub category
none of them are actually called "forgotten realms"

you will notice 2.2 is "other series"
and so on

the list is to show that he does not ONLY right books under the general category of "Forgotten Realms"

The Forgotten Realms is a campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) fantasy role-playing game. Commonly referred to by players and game designers alike as "The Realms", it was created by game designer Ed Greenwood around 1967 as a setting for his childhood stories.[1]  Several years later, Greenwood brought the setting to the D&D  game as a series of magazine articles, and the first Realms game products were released in 1987. Role-playing game products have been produced for the setting ever since, as have various licensed products including sword and sorcery novels, computer role-playing game adaptations (including the first massively multiplayer online role-playing game to use graphics), and comic books. The Forgotten Realms is one of the most popular D&D settings,[2][3]  largely due to the success of novels by authors such as R. A. Salvatore and numerous computer role-playing games, including Pool of Radiance (1988), Baldur's Gate (1998), and Neverwinter Nights (2002).

to correct myself, *Write


Just say the author then, because if he searches for forgotten realms, like i showed you, = WAY too many results, would be even worse on a site like amazon that also sells the games/movies/etc that fall under FR

R.E. Feist - the saga about Midkemia, starting with Mage - The Apprentice. It has like 40 books, so it may take you a while to read it all.
