By far my favorite fantasy world is the Malazan world.
(BTW, Westeros? :confused: I can understand someone loving his writing and his characterisation and whatnot but come on, Westeros is a total rip-off)

Of what???
It's easy to point things out without an explanation as to what you're referencing , let us in on this one so it can be debated ........or not ! ;)

It's very hard to go past Middle Earth !
Deverry is pretty good (Kerr) and The Whorl (Gene Wolfe) , is a definate addition to any list of original creations .

The only fantasy world that I really truly loved for itself and not the story taking place in it would be The Land (Donaldson.)
