I know what the problem is. Tolkien's work is so world renowned that it is almost impossible to keep your mind off of it when writing fantasy novels. I'm not saying it is a bad thing. But there is one thing that can never top Tolkien's work. Detail. Detail is what made Tolkien's writing a phenomenon. Not even the movie can top what Tolkien created.
