>I feel you don't really have the experience to critique any genre books when you just reach for Tolkien.
maybe, I have the same problem with a lot of fantasy writing.
Unfortunately I don't think awards mean much. This seems like an average fantasy book even though the writer is clearly competent, but the content is not particularly interesting to me.

>Post a better example. Because the other post was AI. Bad AI.
Sure, see picrel. I picked a random excerpt from my favourite genre book. I had no idea what a nenuphar was the first time I read it, but I could pick it up from context, and Wolfe's prose is a lot more evocative than what you posted imo, which seems to feel more like an info dump. That's pretty uninteresting on its own. It's telling me about the world, but Wolfe puts you there to experience it yourself and imbues it with more meaning.

I anticipate that we will agree to disagree here.

btw I agree the other post was bad too. I don't like AI writing at all, I think it's more boring than anything humans write.
