Default Re: OT:An Observation

I get seriously annoyed every time I see another book with a dark lord who's hordes threaten the kingdom and the only one who can save them is the prophesied king/queen, who has a band of loyal companions who's ranks include a thief and a priest+healer and some sort of outback character, either a barbarian type, a ranger type or a predatory animal that is non-theless either intelligent and loyal or just loyal.

Yes, there really are a lot of books that seem to match that description exactly, although I generally only read the back.

Although the back is generally accurate enough when it comes to the basic types of abilities the heroes have.
