Query: If you have any respect for JRR Tolkien ...

... please do not buy these books.The Iron Tower series is a shameless (underscore shameless) copy of the Lord of the Rings. In and of itself this is not a complete crime - after all Lord of the Rings was derived from Norse Mythology. However, these books are so poorly written that they are almost a parody.When Terry Brooks wrote the Stones of Shanarra, he was critized for copying Lord of the Rings. However, the Shanarra books were at least well written and made some attempt to interject original elements.Dennis McKiernan has only changed (some) of the names.
