Treasure Tales Book

Of all of the D&D licensed novels that I have read (generally ranging in quality from "ok" to "hot garbage", with the original Dragonlance trilogy being a statistical outlier), who would have thought that the best one so far would be from what was probably one of the game's least popular settings (although Birthright was instantly one of my favorite settings when it came out in the far reaches of mid 90s past)?

The Iron Throne packs a whole trilogy worth of story into its 500 pages, and reads like a high fantasy version of Game of Thrones. There is war, treachery, black magic, sex (way more, in fact, than I would have expected from a D&D novel), villains that just drive you crazy because you hate them so much, and of course enough monsters and undead baddies to stop an army (literally). And, much like Game of Thrones, no happy endings should be assumed for any particular character here.
