[QUOTE="HellHound, post: 1297632, member: 3397"] So... You all know that I have a passion against the D&D novels overall. Okay, maybe not all of you, just some old-timers who remember when I first started posting to these boards. BUT. My daughter has a bunch of gift certificates and loves D&D. I've heard no end of good things about the R.A.Salvatore FR novels, even though they were not to my liking when the first of them were being released. (I felt it was pretty cheesy writing books about RPGs instead of vice-versa). I've also heard no end of good things being said abotu the DragonLance line (my first exposure to them was through the modules... I just about got up and strangled three players who kept tryign to tell me how to play my character and what he would and wouldn't do in order to keep the novels on track... and then when I finally convinced THEM that I should be allowed to 'play' instead of mimicing the novels... the DM follows the modules which railroad us right back into the novels - needless to say, I was so frustrated by the experience that I have not returned to Krynn in any form since). So. She's 12 years old. She likes D&D a LOT. What SERIES of novels should she buy first? Remember, we are avoiding anything seriously adult or evil. She like those things 12 year old girls tend to like about D&D... unicorns, elves with bows, and all that jazz. :) Did I mention she plays an elven archer with a Unicorn cohort? [/QUOTE]
