I am currently reading "The Dragonstone" by Dennis McKiernan. It's a prequel to his Mithgar series. I've enjoyed most of the Mithgar books but this one has some of the typical weaknesses that the series has. In particular, McKiernan loves to go on and on about mundane stuff when his characters travel. You'll get 100+ pages of "the group spent the night at this town and then they crossed this river and camped by this forest and then they crossed these plains and then they had rain". It almost feels like you are reading about multi-month journeys in real time.
Still, so far the characters in this one are interesting so I am holding out hope that it will be good.
