Overview

Based on this article by fantasy author and Orthodox deacon Nicholas Kotar, written in 03 November 2016.

For those craving more of the same feeling Tolkien's work gave us, but that find the books generally recommended not satisfying enough. Nickolas Kotar has compiled a list that might help us find something that could, perhaps, invoke that feeling of wonder again.


The author defines the following as being "Tolkienesque":
  • Based on myths and legends
  • Engages seriously with questions of religion, ethics, and morality in the “real world”
  • Just a rollicking, good adventure story
