  • You’re putting too much pressure on it.

    I had the same issue, until I realised it was just a series of novels, with sarcastically minded, modern characters, that happened to be in a fantasy setting.

    So they’re able and willing to point out the obvious absurdity of the world and its rules. To the extent that the world is flat, and floating on the back of a turtle. And everyone on the planet knows and accepts this as fact, because it’s literally true.

    And he was one of the first to do this. Douglas Adam’s did a similar thing with space in A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy around the same time.

    Now, with all of that in mind, if you don’t like the guys writing style, no amount of love from other people can ever force you to enjoy it.
