I'd have to agree with almost everything Farseer so wonderfully said up there. It would almost be better to read SS first just so you can appreciate it more.. at least for most people.

For myself, I took it for what it was: a trilogy on it's own in a new world with completely new characters. I didn't compared it to RotE and wound up thoroughly enjoying it. In fact, some of the aspects of magic in that trilogy touched me more than some of the magics in RotE. In every game I've ever played I always pick a Druid-like character, someone in-tune with nature and the elemental magic it holds. I've read so many fantasy novels about Druids in general, that the idea of a new-type of Druidic magic from this series greatly intrigued me!! Also: Shaman's! Who doesn't love shaman's? Smiling I think of fat little Nevare and his forest often.. and it makes me smile.

I picked up the first book of RotE and read all 9 books in succession and the very next day I picked up SS and still loved every moment of it. (This was way before RWC was even uttered.)

Hope that gives you yet another perspective. Proud
