I liked his earlier Drizzt books. But I sort of burned out after a while. For one thing, I started noticing his dialogue tags (though that hadn't stopped me before). Also, so many "dead" characters would come back, miraculously alive. For some reason, I accept that more in a comic book (or in Voltaire's Candide
) than in a novel. I remember being so glad that a certain character fell off a cliff -- and then disappointed when he somehow survived (although most other fans adored him).
Some of the other authors seem so much cooler.

I liked his earlier "breakout" books -- Whispers, Phantoms, Watchers... I tried some of his newer stuff and didn't like it as much. Especially when he got preachy in some of them.
