The work of Robin Hobb/Megan Lindholm
The Fitz books really resonated with me. A main character with special powers in a world that has a decent bit of injustice in it. Not really a dystopia. Actually a medieval escapist setting. Which is pretty well done. Fitz suffers such extreme injustice. (As do the protagonists in all 15 books I've read by her.) Hobb really lays it on thicker than the average fantasy fiction IMO. At the same time you know that Fitz's powers are such that something good is eventually going to happen. Furthermore she teases concerning bringing back dragons, etc. She knows how to keep one turning the pages. The characters are decently detailed, yet still simplistic enough to be an escapist fantasy world. Really she does so much so well. I could go on.

At the same time though there's really virtually no psychological or sociological insights. Some basic ones of course. But nothing interesting and definitely nothing that 99% of people wouldn't agree with... I loved some of her books yet I can imagine some relatively vacant people also did.
