literature. Got it.

Tolkein is a great world builder, much fantasy works off of the tropes he built. I find his prose gets in the way of a good story.

Here are a few fantasy series that I think build incredible worlds while being very good reads.

The Fionavar Tapestry - Guy Gaveriel Kay

The Black Company - Glenn Cook

Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffery
