It's better than most generic fantasy because it avoids many tropes. It's pretty much medievil soap opera with power levels. If you're looking for good fantasy, check the sticky or save yourself some time and look up these:

The Black Company
Book of the New Sun
Prince of Nothing
Gormenghast
(ordered from top to bottom as most accessible to least accessible)

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 11 05:54:51 2011 No.2245991 >>2245987 Most literature is crap. Natch. I'm not saying that literature is bad, i'm saying the ratio of bad:good fantasy is roughly equal to that of good:bad literature. I don't understand what natch means.
