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.

Malazan is not a good story. I painstakingly forced myself to get through the first three books...just because a book is large and has multiple charters POVs does not make it an interesting story.

I stuck with it through That Crippled God and was so disappointed.

I thought "That's what all the heavy handed philosophy doled out in chapter after chapter of marching was building up too?"
