tru

i agree not all fantasy is bad

just most

you know, i'd love to think you have a valid opinion on something, since i am assuming you're human, but your "explosions in the sky" sig shows just how terrible your taste can be or perhaps is.

Chart doesn't exactly work. Clockwork Orange is amazing and is completely filled with made up words

poor pacing, overall mediocre style and flow, lots of qualms with how he structures his sentences (more of an editing thing i guess)

are you sure you actually enjoy his books?

Not only is he a terrible author, he literally does "lift" things from other authors. My favorite: "Bid'daum", which the discerning reader immediately notices is "Muad'dib" [from Dune], backwards.
