I believe I will try at least one more before giving up entirely. I am also still on the fence about reading more Piers Anthony, who I find to be a creepy writer (very sexist and seemingly completely unaware of it). I do wonder how these two authors got on the list of all time best???<br /><br />WandaWandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731311054637831837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126862445245993591.post-87532536315891729142013-10-29T12:35:39.682-06:002013-10-29T12:35:39.682-06:00Hi Wanda

As you said it did seem to be one of the few that was not a LOTR clone<br />like Terry Brooks but the main character was such an unlikable person it was hard to really get into the story. As you said his leprosy was given as the reason but it was unconvincing.I have to say I was never tempted to reread it or any of his later books. There are just too many other fantasy writers I enjoy like Patricia A. McKillip and Robin McKinley to bother with him.<br /><br />Regards<br />GuyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546069846136464138noreply@blogger.com
