I'm not sure I agree with your prognosis of epic fantasy. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 27/09/2015 12:34:16 AM

Malazan Book of the Fallen was very well received, and although aSoIaF is hilariously delayed, it's arguably the most popular epic fantasy since Tolkien.

And there are plenty of multi-novel fantasy series like Harry Potter, which isn't "epic" but has wide appeal, to put it mildly.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
