It is kinda like BoTNS with none of the talent, charm, or style and 8 times the length.

it seems pretty vanilla to me, almost generic fantasy.

> Inspiring 3D female characters
> Character growth and progression
> Detailed magic system
> Tons (too much?) world building that rewards readers with true epic fantasy
> Amazon recent announcement to adapt a show from the WoT series

The epitome of banal genre fiction.

its like if game of thrones and lotr had a child but the child had thyroid problems that made him grow up to be 14 books tall and gave him a actual fleshed out magic system. he also would develop a huge fucking middle section that's hard to get through (audiobook helped me with that.)

It may be shit story, it may be told in hack manner, but by Jove don't you dare say a thing about the way they use magic which would be kinda cool if it was a video game and not a book!

There's the mistake. It should've been a video game, instead of a 14-volume slogfest of doorstopper fantasy.

A magic system is where instead of a made up thing just happening there are several made up things happening at once as though a quantity of made up things eventually tips over into realism.

If you dislike genre fiction so much you can just keep posting in the millionth thread about Infinite Jest.
