Query: I enjoyed the book even if it did copy Tolkien.

After reading the reviews it is obvious that anyone who has read the Lord of the Rings can see Mckiernan has copied much of the plots and themes from Tolkien's work. So what. If the Tolkiens don't mind and it's a good read, then the book should be enjoyed. I've read most of McKiernan's other books since reading the Iron Tower Trilogy and have found his later works about Mithgar to be original and very entertaining.
