When I read SoS, I'd JUST finished reading LotR for the first time, and SoS was, with few exceptions, almost a find-replace with names (Allanon for Gandalf, etc) of the main plot of LotR.

The two things that bothered me the most were that it was such an obvious work of plagiarism (calling SoS an "homage" to LotR really is undeserved charity), and the fact that Brooks didn't even bother to change the blatant misogyny in LotR--if anything, there were FEWER women characters in SoS than in LotR. Like, if all you're doing is name-swapping, you couldn't gender-swap a character or two as well? And I knew Brooks was capable of writing good female characters, because I'd already read the Nest Freemark novels.
