"The Last Ringbearer"

[browngirl]

Has anyone read this? From Wikipedia:

The Last Ringbearer (Russian: Последний кольценосец) is a 1999 fantasy book by Russian author Kirill Eskov. It is an alternative account of and an informal sequel to the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. The summary sounds... mindblowing.

I'm not kidding, that's almost her exact writing style, and a close approximation of a lot of the themes in her work. I don't know whether it's because both writers' first language is Russian, or there's something else at work.
