If you want to put together a book with me and a group of other people, we could most likely make it pretty good. I do great with combat, combat clothing, weapons, etc. Mostly with that sort of stuff. My last book was like a DnD Campaign.

Character development is overrated. I mean, not that its bad but that not all books need tons of it. Take 2001 a space odyssey by Arthur C Clarke. Its my favourite book of all time but it has nearly no character development for any of the characters.

hmmm, I find it interesting that I like a lot of the books in that list.... maybe I should look for more fantasy with more finely detailed worlds.
-
@ClaudiaVice because we love books, of course!

you are beautiful. i love your insight on all things fantasy.

Well, in fairness, playing the protagonist as an everyman DOES tend to appeal to a broader audience of readers. The casual reader wants a stable hero and a world that doesn't confuse them. A nonthreatening read. If things are too frenetic or unclear, the book may be dropped. So to some extent, it's just salesmanship, particularly in the children's books that make up most of your list. I mean, they're hardly marketing it to hardcore, discerning fantasy fans who'll read it anyway, are they?

less of a theory more of an obvious observation, least you put thought in the name if not the theory itself

You bring up fascinating points. As an amateur writer I have to really look into this :) ty.

Considering what I can see of what you like--I recommend Anne Bishop (Black Jewels books especially, but all her others are amazing, too) And she beats your theory of inverse detail by, in your words, being awesome.

....and yet you ignored Lord of the Rings? What gives?! That's the only series you could use to sell me your theory! ; P

Ha, good point. I don't read a lot of high fantasy, but I feel I should probably give Lord of the Rings a chance considering they're, y'know, LORD OF THE RINGS and all.
