When I was in my teens I devoured fantasy books, but eventually realized that none of them stood up to Tolkien and every one of them were living off of his crumbs, so I shifted away from reading fantasy.
Much of Fantasy is about expanding a medieval world without losing its essential medievalness. Science fiction is often about dreaming without constraint by any real-worldness. So naturally fantasy is much liable to sound all the same compared to sci-fi.
