The Eye of the World

In my brain, I have been envisaging a fantasy novel for a while. It's not Lord of the Rings, but a basic high fantasy romp that is thrilling but still has slow world-building. This is kind of the best example I can think of of that baseline fantasy novel that has always existed in my brain. It is not the most exciting, well-written, nor most inventive fantasy but it certainly scratches the itch for a basic, fat, fantasy. It's a big blanket of inoffensive world building and compelling enough characters and mythology. It's fine! I would never tell someone they need to read it but for people like me who want to suck on a fantasy pacifier, this does the trick.
