Yea its pretty obviously a huge plagiarism, not very unexpected considering the author was apparently only 17 when he wrote the book. The thing that bugs me so much about this book really is that it's just weaksauce cliched fantasy, but since it's popular to a lot of people its really considered 'great', simply because they don't have the exposure to the genre. This is the type of book you buy some someone who's 14 and you want to introduce them to the style; it's not something to be taken or read seriously. It's Dragonlance Lite.
