Agreed, which is why I didn't want to say any of those were
bad, just that I don't care for them. I didn't like the TC books at all and therefore haven't read them, but I do understand that they may have some redeeming qualities to them (if you get that far). I just couldn't stand the protagonist.
There is also the flip side - bad fantasy that you actually enjoy. For me that would be
Sword of Shannara. I realize it is bad (especially re-reading it as an adult), but I REALLY enjoyed it as a kid and have a fond spot in my heart for it still. The same goes for a lot of the
Forgotten Realms books.
There are a couple indie books that I have started to read that would fall in the bad category too, at least the portions I forced myself to read. Fortunately for me those were free when I got them.
