| You can't somehow disprove my taste in writing, if that's what you're trying to do. I'd say his works certainly helped establish a lot of ground for the world of fantasy, but he never quite hit his mark. I'd almost say that's in part because he was too English for his own good.
I don't find the writing in the Dragonlance novels to be markedly different from many, but I wouldn't call it abysmal. I haven't seen many in recent times do at all better and Tolkien compared to the authors of his time was tripe. |
