✭Read the books, they're awesome!Do you mean the in-game books? Or the books like Elder Scrolls Online: Tales of Tamriel - The Land, and The Lore?
Well, I suppose it's the same either way. They have basically all of the in-game books in them as a physical copy, and yes, I do quite enjoy a lot of the lorebooks in the game, they're often quite interesting to read, both for the storytelling and the lore that it expands upon.

I haven't read yet. Like to one day. It's more of a book after Oblivion but before Skyrim. So not an Elder Scrolls Online book per se, but only one I can think of that is a novel we can read, if that is what you ment.Edited by Davor on September 8, 2018 11:44PMNot my quote but I love this saying

✭✭Do you mean the stuff from pre orders and things? Like the Naryu/Raz journals? Because I'm pretty sure those are more informational type books, its kind of like asking if the dictionary is a good book (well obviously they aren't actually that dry, but you get the point). If you are talking about The Infernal City and Lord of Souls (the only Elder Scrolls Novels), those have nothing to do with ESO, but I would highly recommend them.Edited by Tyrobag on September 9, 2018 12:46AM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I don’t think the Elder Scrolls has novels like Warhammer does. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Unless you mean in game books?
Edit: I just clicked on that massive link up there. One book? That’s it?Edited by max_only on September 9, 2018 4:19AM#FiteForYourRite Bosmer = Stealth

✭✭✭✭✭There are a couple of novels set in the time period of ESO. I - hmmm.... how to say this....
In the past, I've bought novels related to games I was playing. I've found for the most part that while the premises might be good, the authors themselves were abysmal.
I quit buying books related to games I played many years ago.1 -

Naryu's journal is pretty cool. Raz's however is pretty bland. Its got bits and pieces of his journal in it, with splatterings of pieces from ingame books.PC - NACP 1125

Darkhorse1975✭✭✭✭✭Read the books, they're awesome!I didnt think the ES books were too bad. They struck a cord with me because my ESO main is a crafter and started life out as a chef. The books were funny about the staff in the different kitchens in the flying city were in constant life or death warfare with each other to produce the best meals for the rulers.Edited by Darkhorse1975 on September 9, 2018 5:07AMMaster Craftsman!1

Ok. To clarify...
Greg Keys wrote 2 TES related novels.. "The Infernal City" & "Lord of Souls".
If you enjoy Elder Scrolls as much as I do, then they are actually really good books.
Titan Press has a collection series:
The Skyrim Library - Volumes I, II & III
The Elder Scrolls Online - Volumes I & II: The Land & The Lore
Also, all the Collector Editions of ESO, Morrowind & Summerset included really nice books. You can find copies on eBay.
Outside of Primas "Game Guides", these are all the available TES books available that I know of.
Huzzah and Happy Reading!!
Edit Note: Now if you LOVE reading "In-Game" books and really love the lore THAT much, go to:
https://www.imperial-library.info/
They have EVERY book from all 10 games. From Arena to Skyrim to ESO. (fyi... that's like 5-10k books!!)

Agreed, these are pretty good books. Very imaginative, well-written, and lore friendly, IMHO.By Azura, by Azura, by Azura!1
