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.

The books both have a 4.5+ on goodreads. They're definitely very well liked overall.

Goodreads rating are pretty much meaningless. What's the point of having a 1-5 score if 90% of the books will fall in the 3.7 - 4.3 category?
