It’s almost enough to send you back to Serious Mainstream Literature. Or reading the backs of cereal boxes.
I think we ought to have a chat: which fantasy cliche do you find the most odious, the most soul-deadening, imagination-killing, boring old pap? The crusty but benign wizard? The invincible female warrior? The thief with the heart of gold?
(He runs screaming to the sidewalk…)
One of the purposes for which this blog was originally set up was to advertise my fantasy novels and hopefully to get people to buy them.
But we should have a chat. Which fantasy cliche really frosts your buns? Here’s your chance to vent! Which particular cliche moved you to drop-kick that book across the room? C’mon, tell me–I really want to know.
