are they any good?
I need some new books to read.

they're ok
not as good as a lot of fantasy stuff that isn't based on dungeons and dragons

They're OK
I read them years ago when I was playing DnD a lot. If you want a good set of books to read try The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever Book 1 - Lord Foul's Bane, Book 2 - The Illearth War, Book 3 - The Power that Preserves.

I found these to be far better.

I find thomas covenant too much of a whingy cunt
I prefer Donaldson's sci fi stuff, the Gap Series. Pretty dark though, especially the first one.

for fantasy I would recommend Robin Hobb's Farseer stuff, Tad Hamilton's stuff is pretty good. and you can't go wrong with Anne McCaffrey's dragonriders stuff for something a bit different.

The Gap series is fantastic
Some of the best books I've read, very dark, and sometimes a bit unsettling. I do agree the Covenant is a whingy cunt though. Never read any Hobb's stuff, and I've never got into Hamilton or McCaffrey.

Hamilton is slightly far-fetched
the hero is a ginger.

the Robin Hobb stuff is very good though. unfortunately I've lent 2 (or 4) of them to someone and have no idea who. pissed me right off.
