I would give Daughter of the Drow and Tangled Webs (the 2nd book of the trilogy, 3rd comes out next year) solid recommendations. It's interesting how Elaine Cunningham portrays the Drow as opposed to R. A. Salvatore's all-Drow-are-super-evil-except-Drizzt point of view. I liked how the main character in the Daughter of the Drow series struggles with her identity--she tries to be good, but it's hard to shake off her drow heritage and all the prejudice and hatred she grew up in. I found it to be a very good read, very refreshing.

As for Dragonlance, I'd start with the Chronicles trilogy and if you like that, move on the the Legends trilogy which is also good.
