Some excellent books, and some really awful ones.<br /><br />I'm a big Guy Kay fan and think the world most of his stuff, but his first series (Fionavar) was really awful.<br /><br />Wizards first rule is the epitome of EFP as far as I'm concerned.

I’m a big Guy Kay fan and think the world most of his stuff, but his first series (Fionavar) was really awful.

Wizards first rule is the epitome of EFP as far as I’m concerned.

I've always wondered why Patricia Mckillip isn't more well known. I think her Riddle-Master trilogy would be a great intro to fantasy. Congratulations!

The New Yorker - if I may - KICK ASS!!! so proud of you Pat, keep up the great work. I'd have to say, though, that yours and Erikson's are best on the list. I am a bit disappointed to see that Abercrombie is not mentioned, and what's with GRRM getting only honorable mention?? well, sorry to bitch to you, it's not like you have control over what the New Yorker publishes... or do you...? hey congrats pat!!!

Obviously, George R. R. Martin is a master. Now thats out of the way lets talk Pat vs. Goodkind. Pat, I found your book amazing and for the most part superior to Goodkind. However, in the Yorker post the guys said that the series got progressively worse after book 1. This is simply not true. The series did constantly get worse except for one huge exception. I don't see how anyone could read "Faith of the Fallen" and not thoroughly enjoy it. The book could have been a stand alone. It is pretty amazing. I have no idea how Goodkind came up with that masterpiece after 4 straight bad books, but he did. Then he followed it up with 5 more bad books then a terrible one lol.
