it's good shit, that is as long as you don't mind waiting another couple of years for book three.

Good enough that I rediscovered that old fantasy novel thrill from childhood. Just have fun with it. Don't think too hard.

I started reading this and it fucking sucks. I am flabbergasted how people recommend and enjoy this utter shit. It is so slow paced and ineffective, absolute shit tier. Really, can someone explain how they like a book that plods along with so little originality and spice? I mean, do you people like to just read toilet construction manuals all day long? The taste of the populace has grown hopelessly poor. Pic related, as well

It's entertaining light reading. That is going to mean different things to different readers. As long as we mostly agree on what's literary then I have no issue with you disliking Malazan or Name of the Wind. Relax pal, move on and read what you like.

I realize I probably sound a little intense in my criticism, but it's very annoying as a fantasy reader to be looking for new books and constantly running into echo chambers of people recommending absolute shit books. No, I refuse to chill out on this kind of shit. The public lauding of shit literature is a virus that helps convert ignorant people into actual morons.
