Well, like I said, it's not one of my faves. rebelaessedai Send a noteboard - 10/05/2012 03:53:49 AM
I know a lot of people have really loved it, though. Fionovar was my favorite by Kay- I read it a long time ago and it's still one of my favorite series. It, too, is slightly generic in formula. Kay brings something to his writing that others lack, though. He captures humanity very well.

Is there a universally liked fantasy book? Tim - 06/04/2012 08:51:12 PM 2132 Views
I like The Fionavar Tapestry, but I don't expect everybody does. Legolas - 06/04/2012 09:08:18 PM 1581 Views
Not really Larry - 07/04/2012 01:23:38 AM 1556 Views
That surprises me. I would think you'd have enjoyed LIONS or TIGANA. *NM* Ghavrel - 07/04/2012 07:39:08 AM 586 Views
I disliked Sarantium and Under Heaven Larry - 07/04/2012 07:49:50 AM 1457 Views

Seems a silly question to ask. Ghavrel - 07/04/2012 07:37:44 AM 1378 Views
Simply--no. Palatine - 07/04/2012 04:37:16 PM 1774 Views
Except for LOTR wasn't that original. Stephen - 07/04/2012 05:14:49 PM 1270 Views
Perhaps. Palatine - 08/04/2012 04:33:07 PM 1420 Views

Hm. I think it'd be hard to hate David Eddings' The Belgariad beetnemesis - 09/04/2012 06:32:49 PM 1280 Views
That only counts for those who have nostalgic feelings for it, I'm afraid. *NM* Legolas - 09/04/2012 08:45:48 PM 626 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 1249 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 1542 Views
Ha, at least in Mallorean it was a plot point (albeit a lame one) beetnemesis - 10/04/2012 03:52:27 PM 1388 Views

Horrendous Book Wibble - 10/04/2012 12:16:55 PM 1336 Views
I love Tigana, but yeah, Wibble's not the only one who doesn't. Legolas - 10/04/2012 07:13:00 PM 1276 Views
