->''This is precisely my point -- the word "fantasy" is supposed to evoke any wondrous scenario the imagination can conjure, but for some reason, we keep coming back to the elves and dwarves! [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Elves and dwarves]], [[VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings elves and dwarves]], [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII elves and motherfucking dwarves]]. Also wizards. ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' brought us a race of all-female bisexuals culturally obliged to bang anything that moves, and you wonder why I prefer sci-fi these days.''

-> '''West:''' Just because the forces of the universe are indifferent to you doesn't make them malignant. They're not out to destroy you or drive you mad. They just don't care. Paradise exists, as your human mind defines it. In a thousand worlds, in a thousand different forms. As do ten-thousand hellish realities and everything in between.\\

'''Creator/BrandonSanderson:''' [...] For me as a reader, it was a little bit frustrating because I read this and felt that fantasy should be the genre that should be able to do anything. It should be the most imaginative genre. It should not be the genre where you expect the same stories and the same creatures. This is playing into what I like as a reader and my own personal philosophies and hobby horses, but it really just comes down to what I think makes the best story.
