bob salvatore is the velveeta of fantasy novels. you don't really understand at the time, but you later realize that it is the cheese you wanted all along and gruyere or havarti can shove it.

If we're talking about the sci-fi you read between 13 and 16, my main man was probably Piers Anthony. But you get a broad range with Piers - Xanth is Kraft Singles, Apprentice Adept is the vacuum sealed Kraft cheese bricks, and Incarnations of Immortality was like, Sargento.

Incarnations of Immortality cratered with incredible speed but On a Pale Horse was a legitimately good book, it's a shame he couldn't write that way at literally any other time

it's not even fair of me to say it cratered with incredible speed, Bearing an Hourglass was decent and Wielding a Red Sword wasn't much worse than your common or garden variety Wulfgar and Catti-Brie Go To White Castle

His Dark Materials cratered much faster than that

It's faintly amusing to me that Pullman wrote a several thousand page gnostic epic and came out of it saying "welp, I'm an atheist and la di da for me ho ho ho." Like damn dog, you really have no respect for your own time.

we aren't seriously comparing Roger Zelazny on his hackiest, most self-indulgent day to Bob Salvatore on his most insightful and euphonic, though, are we
