I recently tried the first three Shadowdance books by David Dalglish. They answer a question I never expected to be asked: what if Drizzt Do'Urden kind of sucked?

I'm not being entirely facetious. The main character is the purest Drizzt clone I've seen since Drizzt himself, but he's plonked down into a much more GRIMDARK setting where he doesn't have the advantage. He doesn't always have the skill or luck to save everyone, and it's never quite certain whether he'll be able to pull off a good ending. This actually makes him a lot more relatable than I expected.

Ultimately, this isn't quite the style of dark fantasy I go for--I'm more "characters will have their brains violated by Lovecraftian horrors" than "characters will have their bodies violated, but only if they're female and the narration makes note of how great their tits are." Still, if this is the kind of thing you read, you could do a lot worse.
