The two other big fantasy series I've read were Terry Brooks' Shannara series, which I read in my early teens and can no longer even remember at all, & Christopher Paolini's Eragon series, which I read aloud -- it was fun & had some great moments but was very derivative.

Maybe someday I will go back. Liked them at the time, but then, I liked Battlefield Earth when I was 13.

I read Shannara in graduate school. Don't judge me.

Shannara does not hold up.

I wonder if the Donaldson books hold up. Was surprised to see them all translated in Russian some years ago in a store in Moscow.

Having put down the first one as a teen early on, I read them in 2016, and lemme tellya, they held up very, very well in the climate of 2016.
