Tolkein may have started modern fantacy, but authors like Salvatore and Weis and Hickman have brought it to whole new levels. The Dark Elf Trilogy is a fundamental fantacy novel which has all of the basic components for a great read, and also has given later authors ideas for some of their works. I liked the earlier books the best, some of the later books were fairly bogged down and although they did not end the world they did close the door for future adventures in that realm. Although I am somewhat new to the Forgotten Realms world, I have read many of the DragonLance books. These books are written in the same style as the Icewind Dale series, and both of these trilogies rank right up there with the Weis and Hickman Dragonlance books. Salvatore heard the cries for more Drizzt and answered with a prequel series.
