McCaber has been trapped in the Barrow!
As kludgy as the Wheel of Time got between books 7 and 10, it really picked up towards the end. Now the last book has a release date set for next January and I'm actually excited for it.

Brian Sanderson's done one hell of a job on the last two, and I have every confidence in his ability to finish this one strongly.

Eruanna has just left Hobbiton.

Anyone read Kate Griffin's Matthew Swift novels? 'A Madness of Angels' 'The Midnight Mayor' and 'The Neon Court'. The latest one is 'The Minority Council' which I'm just finishing. They're a brilliant read.

Matthew Swift is an 'urban magician' drawing power from the lights, fumes, history and cityscape of London. The books are full of fantastical but entirely believable characters.
Old Father Thames is real, magical power sings through the telephone lines, the dragon emblems of the City of London come into being to protect the city when needed...and sometimes, being dead doesn't mean you can't come back!

Glorthelion has just left Hobbiton.
Harry Potter series
The Chronicles of Narnia series
Deltora quest
Rowan of Rin
Ranger's apprentice

I must say None of the fantasy series mentioned above (save Harry Potter) were close to the high standards of writing set by Tolkien.
