Subject: RE: BS: Other fantasy writers
Robert Jordan, although I haven't finished the Wheel of Time series yet...got kinda bogged down after book 7 and am taking a break.
Mercedes Lackey. A lot of critics say she's repetitive, redundant and other words beginning with "r", but I love her anyway. She just tells a good story.
Orson Scott Card, although my favorite of his books are more sci-fi than fantasy, the Alvin book are good too. And Wyrms.
Margaret Weiss and Tracey Hickman for the first trilogy of DragonLance.
Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, especially for the Godmother series.
Wisechild, I don't know who the author is, but it's a beautiful story.
Neil Gaiman, Neverworld.
I'm leaving Tolkien off the list because although I loved the Hobbit and enjoyed the Fellowship, I haven't read any of the rest. Must withhold judgement.
I'm sure my list will be extended.
