well, he's *obviously* never going to have read *any* fantasy novels in his life before ever
I have no idea whether or not he's read any other contemporary fantasy, it's just that the review gives the strong impression that he hasn't.
Did we just read the same review?
The one which pinpointed the ambiguity of the stories but didn't seem to understand that that might be the power of them, that talks about not being able to get them out of his mind despite their strangeness? I think so.
