Avie has just left Hobbiton.
Completely agree there Gothbogg. So much fantasy writing is terribly derivative, the dreadful "Shanarra" series being a case in point.
I think that Tolkien covered the major themes so well that the LOTR books are almost impossible to better.
One fantasy writer is distinctively different though...has anyone read anything by Gene Wolfe?
