I think I read the Death Gate Cycle. Did the dude have like runes drawn all over him and thats how he would cast spells? Also something to do with a labyrinth? You have ignored this user.

gravedigger - How did Sturm die.

Got speared through the chest fighting off a Dragon Highlord while defending a castle - that Highlord turned out to be a former friend of the group, Kitiara. In fact, IIRC she still hooked up with Tanis later on, they had been fuckbuddies at some point previously.

She got away in the first trilogy, but later on received a fairly satisfying comeuppance. Don't know if she ever got brought back from that....

I disagree. I disagree completely. Read Lord of the Rings. Read anything by Robert Jordan. Read Terry Brooks. You are completely misinformed.

*Edit: Piers Anthony is another one who can definitely hang with any Non-Fantasy writer.

I believe it was called a Jachyra... or something like that. And I cried like a hungry Ethiopian when he died. Ha Ha

I added Piers Anthony.... and yes, Terry Goodkind is another one. But I digress. I was just trying to make a point that Fantasy writers are just as talented as any other type of writer.

NotsoMightySkull 6 Member Since: 3/8/05 Posts: 768	I am reading Memories Of Ice by Steven Erikson. The Series starts with Gardens of the Moon. He is not for kids. Also check out Glen Cooks Black Company series. Great Dark Fantasy. You can get the earlier Black Company books in compilations. You have ignored this user.

How are you pointing out good fantasy authors and leaving out both Martin and Feist?

Not to mention it's become trendy to trash writers like Weis and Salvatore.... In my opinion this is like trashing TV for being good TV (which is rare enough). The books are good, fun reads.

lol.... Ok, I will list all my favorites if you really want me to. But we both know that people who say an author who writes Fantasy can't be taken seriously, just because his main characters are Elves, Trolls, Dwarves etc, are just silly buffoons. That was the point I was attempting to convey.
