Um... whoa, there! What would you think if someone said high fantasy was just JRR Tolkien ripoffs and Terry Pratchett? I'm uncomfy with genre readers slamming other genre fiction, even if it's not to their taste.
As a fan of both (all?) kinds of fantasy, I thought that - for instance - Carrie Vaughn's Kitty and the Midnight Hour, the cover of which did in fact feature a woman facing away from the reader, was a pretty awesome book with a great sense of place.
