I liked the series as well, but it gets criticized by people for not bringing anything new to the genre. Tad Williams is a solid author though.

Feist is another good author with a similar boy into hero theme, but he progresses the story onto other characters which is why I've continued to read his books. In fact, I'd say my favorite book in his entire series is Daughter of the Empire. I love that setting.

Has anyone read Leo Frankowski's Adventures of Conrad Stargard series? It's an engineer who accidentally gets pulled back into time ten years before Poland is to be invaded by the Mongols. It's one of my guilty pleasure books, lol.
