I think it was more just a general annoyance that 90% of the fantasy is epic fantasy and that now he has to stick with political fantasy because he finds epic fantasy cliche (though there are still some pretty good epic fantasy out there if he looks).

Seriously everyone needs to read The Name of the Wind. Wise Man's Fear is also good, but the first book is a perfect "Everything comes together in the climax yes even the themes and worldbuilding touches" story.

Also read the classics. Tolkien. Dunsany. Howard.

ALso, fun little tidbit, a friend gave me this site that not only has some really awesome prices and a very, very nice selection, also does worldwide free shipping. I might get a couple of book there that i can't get around here...

A fun little trivia i stumbled upon is that Brian's novel still retails at around $30 and the hardcover goes for $50 even though the book was released in 2004

http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Nukl.../9780595325115

The ebook is under $5 though. When a book doesn't drop it's price for so long that usually means the demand for it is still high but the supply is not... right? Kinda forgot how that goes... seems like is still doing well though! Nice!
