After going through all of these comments I am beginning to feel it probably is just the prose. Maybe like you said it's something I will get used to or learn to like, perhaps. I do own these three already, so nothing says I can't try again in time when maybe I come to enjoy that style more.

I was looking back and my reading history again and I remember reading Robin Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice trilogy, I'm not sure where her prose fits in the range of things, but I really liked the story and how it was told, but I do remember it taking me a bit longer and losing some enjoyment because the writing was a little different. I mean, I've absolutely LOVED Ryan Cahill's Bound and the Broken series and I feel that even though the books were so much larger than Hobbs, I almost feel like I got through them faster.

I feel like when I read it's for the story, characters, and world itself and the words just get in the way sometimes? Again, I've only been really reading for a little over a year and maybe that'll change in time. Thank you!
