Iarwain (and anyone else, for that matter), you really ought to read #5, A Wizard of Earthsea and its ensuing novels, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, Tehanu, Tales from Earthsea, and The Other Wind. (Six, eh eh eh)*

They're excellent original Fantasy, in a highly developed world. Of course, it's hardly "modern fantasy" as the first was written in the 60's. But anyway, I think those are deserving to hold shelf space along with Tolkien. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
