That's definitly what I don't want to read anymore. So many fantasy books nowadays are just a re-harsh of Tolkien's works and of D&D world, it's getting boring. Unless you have a real twist to it, please no more elves, orcs or dragons in fantasy book. There's others mythos worlds around to play with...

My main complain about current fantasy is its lack of... "fantasy". If you want to play with orcs and elves, make then shift their side for example. The beautiful elves are the incarnation of evil, and the ugliest orcs fight for the good side.
