so the tawny man onwards kind of sucked Foxhead Send a noteboard - 01/05/2012 10:27:41 PM
but for me the farseer and liveship trilogy represent two of the greatest story arcs of all time

And, while I didn't DISLIKE them...I'm just not enthralled either. The last book of her first trilogy is just sitting on my shelf, half read. I have no particular urge to read it, besides finishing it.

Is there a universally liked fantasy book? Tim - 06/04/2012 08:51:12 PM 1710 Views
I like The Fionavar Tapestry, but I don't expect everybody does. Legolas - 06/04/2012 09:08:18 PM 1145 Views
Not really Larry - 07/04/2012 01:23:38 AM 1051 Views
That surprises me. I would think you'd have enjoyed LIONS or TIGANA. *NM* Ghavrel - 07/04/2012 07:39:08 AM 433 Views
I disliked Sarantium and Under Heaven Larry - 07/04/2012 07:49:50 AM 1042 Views
Agreed in the case of Lions of al-Rassan. Legolas - 07/04/2012 10:34:02 AM 969 Views

Seems a silly question to ask. Ghavrel - 07/04/2012 07:37:44 AM 956 Views
Simply--no. Palatine - 07/04/2012 04:37:16 PM 1291 Views
Except for LOTR wasn't that original. Stephen - 07/04/2012 05:14:49 PM 855 Views
Perhaps. Palatine - 08/04/2012 04:33:07 PM 979 Views

Agreed. Tolkien is the closest you'll get. Tom - 09/04/2012 12:46:04 AM 983 Views
I agree about Tolkien DomA - 11/04/2012 12:35:51 AM 986 Views
Sword of Truth series. *NM* Kotagg - 07/04/2012 06:11:27 PM 376 Views
Seconded. We should all grow yurds. *NM* Artsapat - 09/04/2012 07:33:00 PM 429 Views
I haven't read either of those A Deathwatch Guard - 07/04/2012 11:52:47 PM 900 Views
Hm. I think it'd be hard to hate David Eddings' The Belgariad beetnemesis - 09/04/2012 06:32:49 PM 844 Views
That only counts for those who have nostalgic feelings for it, I'm afraid. *NM* Legolas - 09/04/2012 08:45:48 PM 392 Views
Yes, trying to read it for the first time aged 19 wasn't an enjoyable experience. Stephen - 10/04/2012 01:03:19 AM 854 Views
More like having your love for it curdle into hate after reading the Mallorean, Elenium & Tamuli Cannoli - 10/04/2012 02:42:49 PM 1057 Views
Ha, at least in Mallorean it was a plot point (albeit a lame one) beetnemesis - 10/04/2012 03:52:27 PM 964 Views
nostalgia kick for sure. i daren't reread that Foxhead - 01/05/2012 10:25:24 PM 1232 Views
I would've thought Tigana. rebelaessedai - 10/04/2012 04:24:56 AM 859 Views
Horrendous Book Wibble - 10/04/2012 12:16:55 PM 937 Views
I love Tigana, but yeah, Wibble's not the only one who doesn't. Legolas - 10/04/2012 07:13:00 PM 865 Views
Good to know. rebelaessedai - 16/04/2012 04:56:48 AM 1105 Views
I read Tigana very recently Stephen - 16/04/2012 02:12:38 PM 995 Views
Well, like I said, it's not one of my faves. rebelaessedai - 10/05/2012 03:53:49 AM 989 Views
Of course not. Who could like something that's not real? *NM* jh - 10/04/2012 07:39:30 PM 401 Views
Oh, that's a really good question. Vivien - 10/04/2012 08:52:51 PM 950 Views

ursula le guin - earthsea? *NM* Foxhead - 01/05/2012 10:28:35 PM 447 Views
The first one, at least, should be liked by everyone. (IMO) Tim - 01/05/2012 10:59:34 PM 905 Views
