Maybe it's just me and about 500 other people on Mobileread who feel this way.
Nah.

Salvatore doesn't write swords and sorcery. His stuff, at least the D&D tie-in stuff that I've seen, lacks the sense of wonder that swords and sorcery bring to the table. He writes popcorn fantasy (his own description, I believe) which is fine if that's your cuppa.
