If you're a fan of Elder Scrolls lore, The Infernal City and its sequel Lord of Souls are great reads! There are some noticeable typographical errors, but the story itself and the lore are great. It's awesome to be able use your knowledge of where Lilmoth and Rimmen, for example, are in Tamriel. The characters are entertaining and well-developed, too.

However, my caveat is that this lore has been barely engaged by Bethesda at all. There is exactly 1 reference to these novels in TES:V Skyrim, and it easily goes unnoticed. I would love to see similar novels released to cover the time gap between Skyrim and the next Elder Scrolls game, and it would be even more awesome to see Bethesda actually shape the world in TES:VI according to these novels.
