> It happens because Epic Fantasy as a genre is, in part, about being lead through a world. I don't see there a disagreement, it is "just" a question on how one is lead through the world: - Are you lead by the experiences by the characters of the book, and you simply feel the depth of the world behind it, and you learn to understand it over time. - Or do you have the narrator simply explain everything to you. - Or does some protagonist takes over that role. That seems a bit lazy to me, and not so appealing. Still, it can made for a good read, mind you. I definitely swallowed some of those books.
