Na'h you'll be fine I'm with Khuutra on this one, having said that there isn't a book on this earth that where all going to like. has anyone read the Fionavar Tapestry Trilogy by Guy Gavriel Kay, I at first put it off many years ago since it involved character's from our modern world going too a fantasy World and I never liked the approach of modern guy/girl goes to another world and lo and behold he/she can handle a sword etc. with expertise. Fortunately apart from one character and his prowess was more brute strength combined with a war axe they weren't like that at all and i ended up really enjoying it, looking back if reread today with all the Tolkien enspired Fantasy that saturated the market it might seem to lack some originality but still be a great read and well worth it even if for some it is just to visit the world that is the core to a lot of his work and referenced in Tigana among others. Another set of books is the Mordant's Need Novels The Mirror of her dreams and A man rides through by Stephen Donaldson. |
I haven't read the Fionavar Tapestry but Tigana is probably my favorite single-volume work of fantasy. How do they compare with each other?
