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

Skein and Mother were pretty smutty/schlocky but that was kind of inevitable given the author

far me it from me to speak against smutty, and schlocky can be peachy, but i just remember them being an absolute mess full of characters i can't care about because i literally can't tell them apart because our Piers lacks the concept of voice entirely

It seemed like was trying to obfuscate the issue by making it multigenerational and also involving time travel, which, if the goal was to make the plot illegible, congratufuckinglations

weird that he never wrote X-Men but he probably considered funny books beneath his dignity

Oh man he would've been great in comics. I think Pale Horse might've been adapted actually?
