Community Consensus
"The comments discuss two distinct spheres of modern fantasy authors. For the highly commercially successful author (Sanderson/Cosmere), the consensus is that the work is exceptionally accessible (due to 'Window Pane Prose') and designed so that readers can 'start anywhere' within the universe. For the second author (Kuang/presumably 'Playing for Keeps'), the consensus is highly critical, suggesting the book shares the same structural flaws as her previous works: high technical/academic proficiency but a failure to deliver an engaging or original narrative."
For entering a large, accessible fantasy universe like the Cosmere (which is often cited as a standard for this genre segment), the advice is explicit: 'you can start anywhere,' as the structure supports multiple entry points.
