I got mislead by the blurb, I think, and discovered, that I'm not into fantasy questing stories. Even when written by authors I really like. The blurb mentioned that the heroes have slain the villain and now it's the land after the war they have to live in, or something like that. But it turns out that that just sets up the setting in which the quest is going to take place, there's no trying to get back to normalcy in the way I imagined it. There's even a climactic fight with the big baddy near the end or smth. Yeah, my bad, was not what I was looking for.
