Daughter of the Drow (Forgotten Realms: Starlight and Shadows, Book 1)

Daughter of the Drow - Elaine Cunningham I haven't read the last volume in this series yet, but I liked the first two quite a bit. Stylistically, these books are above-average, and I think the female protagonist in particular is well-rounded and developed. Plus, there's lots of neatly woven-in information about the drow, everyone's favorite race of decadent dark elfs.
