Gormenghast might be the wrong kind of fantasy

It can be a slough to get into because of how detailed of a writer Peake is, all the miniature carvings and the guys poor knees take up a good portion of that first book before we actually get to the plot. I had the single volume compendium on my shelf for years and I don't think I ever got to the second book in it.

I read somewhere about the Gormenghast series:

Where Tolkien draws you in by leaving much to your own imagination, Peake draws you in by telling you every minute detail

or some such.
