I respect your opinion on this. I have the same reaction to a great deal of the other fantasy and science fiction I've read. Which fantasy books do you like?

  "The magic goes away" series so far is one of the best I actually encountered (for me). I like the more realistic and honest nature of the characters, and the sense of impending doom and how does it modify the characters' behaviour. I find it pretty engaging so far. I did enjoy the beginning of one of Alistair Reynolds' books but haven't gotten around to read it in full yet. "Stormlight Archive" so far I find a bit prolonged as well but Sanderson is very good at literally everything else so I'll keep going (2 out of the 4 books down so far). Read a few short stories in the Witcher universe and loved them but haven't read the books themselves yet. But I have a feeling that I'll love them too. Gart Nix's "Old kingdom" (the original 3 books) were okay, I loved their world-building but didn't like truly love them. 7/10 though, solid books. Haven't tried to read anything from the expanded universe yet. And of course LOTR, though I have to admit I never managed to read it more than twice for my entire life.

      You made me look. :) "House of Suns", 2008 I really liked the intro. I should get back to it and read it in full.
