Transcript by OP

[fscom]

When asked, I always say that I'd like to see more non-western fantasy settings, Asia in particular. And I would! In theory...

But in practice I tend to gravitate towards the same western European fantasy settings. They're familiar and comforting, like a cozy blanket.

It doesn't help that I'm never quite happy with the execution of non-western fantasies I've read. They either sound exactly like western fantasy with different landscapes, or they read like they exist to reflect current (and almost always U.S.-centric) social and racial issues, even if they're not set in the U.S. or its fantasy equivalent.

I know I need to be patient. This subgenre is still growing and the selection is still relatively limited. Of course there are going to be clumsy examples. Genre classics will happen. Old-school fantasy from the 60s and 70s was a mixed bag, too. But it's so hard to wait.
