I'm not implying it's brainless nor requires thought, but as I said, I tend to like books about adventures pitting people against the environment and not necessarily brutality or war, so I don't really like this style of story. It's not really a statement requiring defense or to inspire argument - it's moreso one of my opinion and preferences. Keyword would be "some of it (fantasy)", not necessarily this series in its' entirety.

You don't need to reread TtH, actually. Reaper's Gale is much more relevant.

Yes, that was the main thing I was getting at with the "strong stomach" comment.

Maybe your thesis is just a little too simple, then.
