I just got into R. A. Salvatore's work. I avoided his stuff like the plague but now that I like it I can't remember why.

His stuff isn't super amazing and it doesn't really add anything to the genre itself, but the books are easy to read and the characters are likable. He does a really good job with fight scenes, as well. I can understand some of the complaints against him, but he is a pretty good writer nonetheless. I first got into him because I was a huge Dungeons & Dragons nerd when I was younger.

Yeah, I wouldn't say he's my favorite author but right now he's in the lower top ten. His books are the first Fogotten Realms books I've read so some of the stuff in them I feel a bit left out of the loop on, like piwafwi's (wtf are they, seriously). I think maybe I stayed away from his stuff mainly because he has so many books and I'd want to read them all if I got into just one.

Piwafwi is just the drow word for cloak.
