This might be the best written tedious fantasy book that I have come across for a while.
That’s from an Amazon review of Patrick Rothfuss’s The Name of the Wind, which is in fact the best written tedious fantasy book that I have come across for a while. Recommended.
ooo…tyler does fantasy?? I’m going to go digging in archives to find fantasy recs…
tom s., can you think of any specific examples of what you mean by “embarassingly bad writing” in either Dune or LotR? I enjoyed those immensely as a teenager, but it’s been a couple decades…
I beg to differ!
You could do much better: try Ursula le Guin’s Earthsea trilogy if you haven’t already.
