There are some ways in which Narnia is better, mainly as Christian allegory, but it is inferior in a great many others. Tolkien was just better at world-building, deeper in his literary/historical/mythological influences than anybody else who has ever written in this field. https://twitter.com/BecketAdams/status/1254487480520368129 …

As for the Paolini books, the ending (which I won't spoil here) is quite elegant; my favorite part is where the dragons band together to eliminate the names of their betrayers from their language, so they can no longer even *think* of their own selves.

Those books really set my expectations for what serious fantasy was supposed to be after years of reading Piers Anthony, Robert Asprin, and Terry Brooks.

I really had a hard time with these. Disturbing is right.
