"Medieval a la Beowulf, Chaucer,
and the whole Arthurian bit gets on my nerves.
I think King Arthur has been overdone."
Exactly, it feels hackneyed, while Tolkien and Pratchett don't feel like a retread, it feels like they have created something really unique/original.
I've read most of McCaffrey's dragon-riders and really loved it, I should go back and make sure I hadn't missed any of it sometime...
BTW have you read Artemis Fowl? It is by Eoin Colfer, and I had never heard of it before today.
