*wheeze* Terry Brook's Shannara books, David Edding's Belgariad, Stephen R. Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant - First and Second, Stephen King's own The Dark Tower *choke*
It may be a bit of miscommunication. When I hear something referred to as 'epic fantasy' I tend to think of a small group of adventurers trying to prevent the Big Bad from conquering the land/world/kingdom. This requires a long journey where the plucky group will face many perils. As mentioned, The Dark Tower and The Stand are epic fantasy in my eyes.
Eyes of the Dragon is not that. When I say Eyes of the Dragon feels more like a fairy tale, it is because it is about a young person, imprisoned by a villain seeking escape, like Rapunzel or Hansel and Gretel.
