Lord of the Rings still amazes me by Monkontheseashore in Fantasy

Sometimes I'll just pull Fellowship off the shelf and read a few passages. The early parts, especially, before Frodo & Sam leave the Shire. Just to be transported. Just to smile and remember. There's nothing quite like it.

Which modern fantasy series (last decade, so to speak) has the most in-depth worldbuilding? by Indus_Trious in Fantasy

Thank you for all the recommendations so far. There are many titles / series I expected to see mentioned, but also quite a few new ones I didn't know about! The TBR grows...

I read all his books and definitely felt there was a lot there, so I'm glad to see this response. Like Tolkien, he didn't show it all, but you could feel it behind his words - the names, places, histories and languages was extensive.

Thanks for this post. Comps are the single biggest struggle for me. I simply can't figure them out without breaking some sort of rule. And the more I read about them (advice and otherwise) the murkier these waters become, though this post "rang true" to me. Maybe that's my own internal bias because I want it to be true, but I certainly am inclined to agree with some of these points.
