in WoT, Sanderson had to work w established chars, I think he did a better job of it than Jordan himself in his later novels

I never got the WoT thing. Never even finished the first book. My brother devoured them.

WoT was an early acquired taste, much like Feist's Midkemia series. Most of my geek buddies started on it in high school

Mine too, just never happened for me. I think I was reading mostly fantasy by women, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Katherine Kurtz etc.

I read plenty of Melanie Rawn decades ago, found her series fascinating. But mostly female scifi authors (Cherryh, Norton, Le Guin)

Yeah, I read Melanie Rawn too. Never got into Cherryh, some Norton, adore Le Guin. Was mostly reading men in SF. Niven, Heinlein.

Cherryh is one of my fave prolific authors. Do at least give Downbelow Station a chance, it's as contemporary as it gets

I keep hearing good things. Will try. There was a book with fuzzy critters on the front I abandoned at 15, no basis to reject her.

hah, told you, "prolific" is the word. Her output is uneven, but I loved plenty of her work, esp. the Company Wars setting

Noted. I was wrong about a lot of stuff I wrote off as a kid.

Avoid first trilogy Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. It's fine, but she was just cutting her teeth. Also, 5th Season is hardcore tragic.
