I was in 8th grade in the early '80s when I was introduced to fantasy (Tolkien of course), and I was pretty muched hooked right then. But my love of fantasy was cemented by the next book I read, Magician by Feist. From that point on, my reading (scholarly commitments not withstanding ) consisted almost entirely of fantasy. Feist remained atop my check list whenever I went to the bookstore (the internet was not a household search tool back then), and I consumed every new book that Feist put out, filling in he voids with whatever fantasy I could put my hands on. However, some point after Feist's collaborative effort on Daughter of the Empire with Janny Wurtz, my appetite for Feist diminished considerably. I still pick up his latest books if I stumble across them, but I don't actively seek them out or consume them as soon I buy them. So, did I outgrow his writing, or did the quality of his writing fall off?
