Explicações: lorax: I actually finished this one, gave up after Book 2, but there's no one book to determine if you're a fantasy fan. You can dislike this, because of the violence or for any other reason, and still consider yourself a fantasy fan.
Cecrow : Any fantasy aficionado read this as a breath of fresh air when it was first published, and the genre has not been the same since.
merrystar: Have to disagree with Cecrow; I have always read and enjoyed fantasy, but could not finish this when I tried to read it in the late 1990s.
