Guy G. Kay is one of my favorite authors. However, I thought the Fionavar Tapestry verged on unoriginal and dull. How many fantasy books have I read where a group of intelligent, resourceful modern-day young people get sucked into a medieval-esque fantasy world? Well... it's a lot. And I didn't think Kay's contribution to the oeuvre was particularly exceptional. But - don't let that turn you off the rest of his books, which are gorgeously written, strikingly original, subtle and bold.
