What's everyone's favorite fantasy author?
People I like:
Glen Cook (Black Company)
Raymond E Feist (Serpent War Saga)
Terry Brooks (Shannara)
People I don't like:
Robert Jordon (series drug out much too long)
RA Salvatore (Drizzt can't live forever bub)
JRR Tolkien (LOTR should be seen, not read)
There are a lot out there that I haven't read, so let's get some comments from the fans of the following:
Tad Williams
David Eddings
Michael Moorcock
Terry Prachett
Mercedes Lackey (like LOTR, mostly for children?)
Terry Goodkind
etc. Not even sure whether all those names belong in the same column, but whenever I go into a bookstore, I seem to find more fantasy authors. Any opinions on the above? Which other authors deserve mention?
Anyone recommend authors similar to those I like above?
Cheers,
