I was at the bookstore today, and came across fome R.A. Salvatore books for the first time. I was super drawn to the idea or orc and dark elves in fantasy, as I haven't read anything like that yet. I'll pick up his books, once I figure out the reading order, but would love similar book recs. I'm dying to explore the subgenre!

Lord of the Rings and other works by Tolkien would be worth reading as the foundation of a lot of fantasy, including the concept of orcs.
Also consider other books set in the Forgotten Realms. For focus on the drow, try “The War of the Spider Queen,” a six book series written by multiple authors.
Travis Baldree’s “Legends and Lattes” features an orc protagonist.
