My favorite would have to be The Soulforge from the Dragonlance Series. By far not the best fantasy novel, not even the best I've ever read. But it's my fav, I have a lot of good memories about it and really thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I still have a copy even though last time I moved i had to cut down from 3 suitcases + a crate worth of books to 1/2 a suitcase worth.

If by amazing you mean blatantly moralizing on a scale rivaled only by Ayn Rand then yeah, it sure is.

Yeah I remember even when I was in high school and didn't know anything about Ayn Rand I was able to recognize the themes in his novels that were inspired by her as the bullshit they were.

My favorite fantasy series was always Wheel of Time but I haven't read any fantasy in ages.

Is that the one where there's a tribe of mudscum who punch each other to show respect? Because I didn't even finish that shit.

>that feel when you read Atlas Shrugged in 9th grade and thought it was brilliant in theme and content.

It's a joy to be grown.
