I liked the second book in Donaldson's Covenant (the first set) because it focused much less on Covenant himself as a character. I have an overall "meh" feeling about that series because Thomas Covenant was just way too unlikable. Sure, it was unique to have a real-world person transported to a fantasy realm and not be altered. A raccoon in a cowboy hat is also unique.
I agree with Gaiman's anticlimactic nature, especially in American Gods. *half-spoiler* Here we are in this gigantic battle, and we all stop because the guy over there said some stuff about things. Oh, I guess it's time to go home now.
Terry Goodkind... I enjoyed Wizard's First Rule, but you can read just that 14 times over to get the gist of the whole series. "I love you Kahlan." "I love you too Richard, but we can't be together because of some unspoken evil which conveniently escalates." And why does Goodkind always look so pissed in every picture taken of him?
