Let me start off by saying I'm having a blast playing this game. I've Played BG 1 & 2 for like 20 years regularly, and was always intrigued by the Forgotten Realms.
So about four years ago, I've bought a bundle off the first 30 books about Drizzt Do'Urden, a Drow Ranger, by R. A. Salvatore. If you did not know about these books, I'd like to recommend them wholeheartedly to you, if you love the world of BG3. The books are true to the material, and offer deep insights into Faerûn.
They have their ups and downs, but I've read 14 books so far, and I've been deeply involved so far.
Also worth mentioning is the Cleric Quintet, same author.
I can’t recall if its a FR books (I believe it is, but been a long time) but I remember it being a satisfying read on a rainy day.
I read it in a week at work, no business because it was a walk in only location for fast food, it was raining to the point that it was overflowing the glass caulking for exterior floor to ceiling windows. So mop up once in a while, and read.
Yeah it is my all time favorite series by RA. I was also a teen in the 90s reading it and loving it so very much. I remember doing book reports over some of the entries before I even started them lol. I still through out a Drood from them to time.
It is a FR series, and the characters cross over and meet at least once.
That’s a good one, too. Salvatore can write one hell of a story and legendary battle scenes lol
