Bro Jim has chops I don't think a lot of people respect. I hated BG/PT more than most and am still pretty vocal about how blatant a cash grab it was, but that's just the latest Dresden drip. Go back and look at Codex Alera again. The complexity of plot, the subtle politics and character relationships, and the over the top large scale action. Imo it's pretty great all time fiction work, and it's genesis was a drunken bet about Pokémon and the lost Roman legion. I'm honestly hopeful for the Olympian Affair, as the Cinder Spires series had a very promising start.
