I just don't know why they hate Maas' books. I honestly don't know anything about them. They look like George RR Martin clones.

They have some steamy scenes that are more romantic than pornographic. They do offer a fantastical world with their own rules, poilitics, and dangers though and for that alone they get a lot of readers into the hobby.
