(Anonymous) 2015-03-21 05:01 am (UTC)(link)Text: I haven’t felt genuinely excited for a new fantasy novel series since 2009*. My experiences mostly boil down to:
1): This series would be asesome if it ever actually finished.
2): No, I don’t want to read grimdark with a sprinkle of rape on top.
3): You actually expect me to find this character sympathetic when he says that? Wait, this sympathetic character seays that, too! And this one! a?nd this character who disagrees is the bad guy… Holy shit, do you actually believe that? (The statement avaries, but it’s generally horrific.)
There are a few things I like, and I’m submitting a whole bunch of series about them, but I feel like the fantasy genre as a whole is mired in a bunch of trends I don’t want to deal with anymore.
(This would be a lot less painful if I weren’t a fantasy writer.)
*The Warded Man. A guy tattoos himself with anti-demom runes so he can punch demons to death. Book four of a planned five is coming soon!)
