What does /lit/ think of inventive fantasy?

I loved the edge chronicles when I was a kid. I sometimes think of going back and reading them but i'm afraid it will change my view of them.

Discworld is much more a parody of various genres than anything else. I'm not saying that's bad.

Agreed. Also the art fits the overall tone of the story really well.

Fantasy has a lot of potential, but frequently feels too worried it'll confuse its readers and winds up feeling dumbed down.

I enjoyed these a lot as a kid but looking at them now they were CARRIED by the great art

Without the maps and illustrations they were just slightly above your average YA fantasy
