Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn remains my favorite fantasy series. Over the last ten years or so, there's been a lot of talk about authors "subverting the tropes" of traditional epic fantasy, which always makes me think: But Tad Williams, himself one of the supposed traditionalists, was doing that in the 80s! Definitely worthy of its own post in your epic history.James D.

These remain the gold-standard of post-Tolkein fantasy for me. I can't think of any other series as well-written and absorbing – at least none that maintained that level of excellence all the way through. David Lisshttp://www.davidliss.comnoreply@blogger.com
