R.A. Salvatore’s Drizzt is by far the setting’s most popular character. The drow with the soul of a ranger was originally meant to be a sidekick and mentor to Wulfgar, the young barbarian that Salvatore had originally conceived of as the protagonist. But it didn’t take long before Drizzt became the protagonist, and he was never better than in this ...
Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms, had this to say about Cunningham’s books: “When I first read Elaine Cunningham’s first Realms novel, ELFSHADOW, I thought: this lady has been reading my mind. This IS Waterdeep; she’s seeing it through my mind’s eye! It’s PERFECT!” Elaine Cunningham has always felt like The Realms’ secret weapon. She n...
The longest series in the Forgotten Realms follows the Harpers, a secret organization dedicated to freedom, foiling the plans of the Zhentarim, and preserving ancient art and lore. They are, at their core, a very easy way to put a Dungeons and Dragons party together in the setting. These books were largely stand-alone. The Ring of Winter followed o...
While Salvatore is best known for Drizzt, his Cleric Quintet even better. It follows the young priest of the god of knowledge, Cadderly Bonaduce, as he foils the plots of Castle Trinity and goes from being a curious, well-meaning skeptic to the most devout priest. There’s a fantastic romance between Cadderly and the monk Danica, and some solid come...
The first book in the Moonshae series by Douglas Niles was the first Forgotten Realms novel. In fact, R.A. Salvatore had originally pitched his own book in the Moonshae Isles, but once he found out they were being used, changed his to Icewind Dale. The Moonshae series feels closest to the epic fantasy series of the time period. Well-meaning nobles ...
Many of the RPG books involving the Forgotten Realms include Volo, world-traveling explorer. Well, this romp of a novel features him being cursed to go around the Realms with an annoying thespian companion who bears a striking resemblance to another author of Forgotten Realms novels. The breakneck pace means there’s always something fun happening, ...
This is basically Indiana Jones in a magical world, and it is exactly as fun as that sounds. A human explorer attempts to discover the secrets of an ancient elven library. Globe-trotting, perusing ancient texts, and a non-stop plot make this book fly by.
The Forgotten Realms has plenty of anthologies, and Realms of Infamy, the second, is the strongest of them. It takes the numerous villains who make up the fabric of the setting and shows us their point of view. The Salvatore story explains how Artemis Entreri became such a high-ranking assassin at such a young age, while the Cunningham shows Elaith...
Ed Greenwood created the Forgotten Realms, so it feels right that he should get the final spot on this list. Elminster is the only character who comes even close in notoriety from the Forgotten Realms to Drizzt. He’s the Chosen of Mystra, goddess of magic, one of the most important Harpers, and the person who knows just how to nudge fledgling heroe...
This is my suggested READING ORDER for my Forgotten Realms books, which all tie together. So here goes: I get a constant stream of PMs, e-mails and the like from people wondering where to go next with the Drizzt books.
The history of the Realms has been dramatically retconned several times over, so reading in chronological order can be an odd experience. In addition, despite several attempts, the realms is not really about one over-arcing metastory (unlike Dragonlance), it's basically a background setting for tons of mostly-unrelated series and single novels.
I think, in general, reading the settings books should give you enough background - since they usually incorporate much of the history. One suggestion though is the Grand History of the Realms: https://www.amazon.com/Grand-History-Realms-Forgotten/dp/0786947314/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500408654&sr=8-1&keywords=grand+history+of+the+realms
