I found Sabriel on your shelf! I totally forgot about that series. \<3

Well, I don’t think that “stealing” from Tolkien is such a bad thing; LOTR is probably among the first things that fantasy authors read, so it’s natural that it leaves a mark on their work (especially for someone as young as the writer of Eragon was, 15 if I remember correctly?). And it’s such a monumental work, too. Somebody made a story map for Robert Jordan’s The Eye of the World, and it matches The Fellowship of the Ring exactly. I still don’t think that makes it a bad copy of LOTR, in fact starting off with the familiar makes a stronger foundation for a story to grow on. :content:

Anyways, I’ll put it on a list and see for myself, if I ever reach it. :happy:
