The Sacred seven is great, Old magic and The Named are FANTASTIC, and the Wheel of Time is absolutely incredible! I have to say, though, LOTR references are huge!

There is the horn of Valere, which reminds me of Orome's horn the Valaroma.

There is a character called Thorin, and one called Hurin

I made a mental list of other similarities while I was reading, but they were pushed out of my head by the fact that they really are brilliant stories!
