I definitely see the relationship to Lord of the Rings, and I think the author actually quite consciously riffs off it, starts with Tolkien and then twists the plot; I read another reviewer commenting on the Wheel of Time series and referencing the raft and the pursuers, and it's true, at first I thought, hey, this is the Tolkien scene, but the plot twist is very satisfying and makes it original. I am a Tolkien devotee but really really enjoy this!(less)
