| Re: Is WoT a long winded copy of LOTR?
Lol - when I read "something less Tolkienesque" I assumed you'd mean something still in epic fantasy, relatively traditional but with quite a few original ideas - like Bakker or Martin - but the Iron Dragon's Daughter is an anti-fantasy of the highest quality - completely subversive, takes all the stereotypes and turns them on their heads. An excellent novel, except I don't know whether I'd advise someone to go straight from WoT to Iron Dragon's Daughter. |
