Interesting how opinions of writers differ. I would say that Terry Brooks is a far superior writer to either Hobb or Eddings, although I would not classify him as one of the all-time greats. I think Hobb, Eddings, Jordan (Robert, that is), and Feist are all mediocre writers whose books can usually be enjoyed but often drag. Generally, I have found these authors start on a high note (first volume in a series) and then steadily deteriorate.
