Actually, it's a problem I've had with fantasy and sci-fi writing in general - I've been burned enough times that I now read books by only a few authors that have shown themselves to be trustworthy.
That's why I browse the young adult section more than the adult section. It's also why I haven't read anything knew for a while.
It's also one reason why I write - because no one is writing the things I want to read.
Yep, that's why I write. I would say that that's why most writers write, but when it comes to fantasy it seems like most writers are just trying to be the next Tolkein or C.S. Lewis, regurgitating what's already been done to death.
