Nothing new, but The Fionavar Tapestry by GG Kay wooly Send a noteboard - 10/01/2013 07:02:33 AM
High fantasy with a modern twist. Kay is always epic, and he has become my favorite author. I've read everything else he has written except this, and I took my time and savored this series. The major theme in this series is sacrifice for the greater good, with a sub-theme of free will vs. determinism.

I have enjoyed all of Kay's writing, and this is as good a place as any to get started if you haven't already. My favorite of his books is The Last Light of the Sun, but I don't suggest starting there.

Well, depends on how broadly you want to define genres, I suppose... Larry - 07/01/2013 01:09:34 AM 1134 Views
Lord of Light- has some similarities to WOT in terms of themes IndigoAjahV2 - 07/01/2013 01:27:01 AM 868 Views
It's a great book, though Chronicles of Amber would seem closer to WoT Isaac - 15/01/2013 01:01:25 AM 822 Views

For me it's a draw between Patrick Rothfuss: "The wise Man's Fear" and Vidarfe - 07/01/2013 01:17:14 PM 920 Views
Possibly The Long Earth by Stephen Baxter and Terry Pratchett. Stephen - 07/01/2013 07:27:36 PM 911 Views
