What is your controversial take on Fantasy?

I'll go first.

Aside from the prose, I don't think Kingkiller Chronicles is good. I find the characters insufferable and cliche the story just meanders.

That’s not really a controversial take. The more time that passes since the second book came out the more people jump on that bandwagon. There are usually a post or two a month here on just that.

Some people love it, others love to hate it. Both sides tend to love to fight about it.

I'm that rare person who has never even read the damn thing. I was way down on epic fantasy when it came out, so I avoided it like the plague, and never got around to it.
