I hope they take this opportunity to remove Athena from the show. She has been nothing but loudmouthed and selfish for far too long, and I'm sick of just waiting for her to start yelling about something stupid again. Her blow up at Chimney was the last straw for me. She's officially a horrible person in my book and I'm sick of putting up with her to watch a show I otherwise enjoy.

I get what the author is trying to say. Long-running epic fantasy can be intimidating as an introduction to the fantasy genre. This article would be much better received and delivered if it made that point and used some examples from the nature of some of the listed series. Then offered recommendations of stand-alone fantasy that work as a great intro to the genre and offer info on how that could lead into some of the biggest and greatest works of fantasy of all time, but that's a bit much to ask from ChatGPT.
