Anything by Tad Williams.

I mean I loved (LOVED!) his stories, but my disappointment comes from never being willing to read them again. He paints beautiful worlds, with a rich detailed filled story….But, somewhat ironically, he is the driest author I have ever read. I just can’t do that to myself.

I'm starting to realize I bounced off most of the male 90s-era big fat fantasy authors, mostly due to their work being so dry.

Most of my favorites were by woman authors, because by and large they wrote the better characters.
