Legend
As the tile says. My 1st D&D novel probably was one of the TSR Endless Quest books but if they do not count its probably Dragonlance the original trilogy which I liked at the time (1993) but I could not finish the 1st book trying it again recently. Most have been average to below average and as much flak RA Salvatore gets online he is one of the better D&D authors IMHO. ANyway my favorites.
The Iron Throne (Birthright)
No not Game of Thrones. I have not read this one since the 90's but even then it was a large book by D&D standards and it was a lot more gritty than most and even dealt with sex indirectly. It more or less felt like an adult book which was unusual for a D&D book. Probably an obscure book from D&Ds most obscure boxed set setting. Did anyone ever actually play Birthright or read one of its novels?
The "Hamanu Trilogy" (Darksun)
I liked the Prism Pentad for Darksun as a book to read for fun, I disliked it due to what it did to Darksun in terms of metaplot. However Lynn Abbeys "Hamanu Trilogy" (A Brazen Gambit, Cinnabar Shadows, Rise and Fall of a Dragon King Chronicles of Athas 1,4 and 5) blows it out of the water quality wise IMHO. The story is basically about a non Evil Templar of Hamanu dealing with being Templar in Urik although RaFoaDK puts Hamanu front and centre. I recently reread this series for about the 3rd or 4th time (90's, 2007/8 and last year) and not only are they among the best Darksun novels I think they are also some of the best D&D novels of all time.
Sojourn and A Silent Blade- RA Salvatore
Not a massive Drizzt fan and I got sick of the books around 15 years ago (the novels after A Silent Blade turned me off). Out of the better Drizzt novels I liked these 2 the best.
Almost Anything by Elaine Cunningham
I quite like Elfsong and Elfshadow or at least did and her Lirial Baenre books are some of the better Drow books and D&D books around IMHO.
Kaz the Minotaur (?)
I remember this as being one of my favourite Dragonlance books. They spammed out alot of bad FR and DL books back in the day.
