I definitely meant the scale of it, by "too epic". It seemed to be all about Demi-gods and demons and unspeakable ancient powers and the things the unspeakable ancient powers used to frighten their kids with. It all got a bit wearing. There wasn't anything at a human scale to anchor it all to.
I have noticed that I am far less tolerant of books I don't like, now. Once I would have carried on with the series and maybe come to like it, but now I just write it off and move on.
