I appreciated the characters over magical systems approach. I can see why this is beloved in the fantasy community, wish fulfillment being a hallmark of fantasy and all. But... I'm just not the primary audience. The wishes that were fulfilled/explored aren't any wishes that I am emotionally invested in.
