@21149f3e As I say, it's subjective, and that's a good thing. Otherwise, we'd all be writing the same books for the same people. I revere Tolkien (I have gorgeous editions of LOTR on my shelf), but don't believe his work perfect, no work ever is, and certainly not mine. I've also drifted away from epic fantasy. Again, that's just me & my tastes, nothing more. 😃
