Best D&D novels

[RangerWickett]

I haven't checked any of them out in a long while, but with hindsight, I recall

Dragonlance - The Twins Trilogy, with time travel, was good because it was character-driven.

Drizzt - Starless Night had the pretty great pairing of Drizzt and Cattie-Brie when she was coming into her own as a character.

And Homeland was intriguing for the world-building but I'm not sure how it holds up now that I'm more aware of how effing stereotyped old D&D stuff was.

Liriel Baenre's Daughter of the Drow series had some fun 'will they won't they' flirting but I don't recall the paying really working for me. But I was a teenaged boy, so maybe my opinion wasn't the most enlightened.

Would agree that Elaine Cunningham's works are up there.

The first Dragonlance trilogy is iconic, but the second one is better-written.

I think Vampire of the Mists by Christie Golden has holds up pretty well, even if it is a little angsty.

I'm currently idly puttering through The Ring of Winter, and it's got to be down towards the bottom. Chultan humans referred to as Tabaxi, poor context for events, and don't get me started on the two talking wombats that show up out of nowhere.

What is the D&D world?

Unless you mean a D&D world based off of any setting?

But would that have to be official or unofficial?

If unofficial, aka a homebrew D&D world, I would have to say mine, because I have a hard time reading what others right for some reason.

I'm not that cool though, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
