Hi FoolishGirl,
my reaction to her work has a sort of history. I am an early Lord of the Rings child. Since I read it, I was searching for ages for something, that thrills me in a similar way. I was almost going to give up fantasy at all. But then by chance I came across The Farseer and was thrilled immedeately. And that was it. In a way RH saved the whole genre for me 
.
I know, I will give ML annother try in near future. It’s definitely not fair to expect her books making me that glowing like RH’s stories do. And it was probably a mistake, to start with ML subsequent to a RH „fest“. I’m pretty sure, that I will get familiar with her too, but right at the moment the stories don’t „send for me“ so eagerly. There are others waiting (i.e. re-read of ASOIAF, before the next book will come out in summer).
So please read ML soon. I really wonder, if you also feel such a big difference, or whether I’m perhaps the only one here.
