I think Morgan's fantasy, both of them together, is perhaps one of the most interesting deconstructions of epic narrative qua epic narrative that I've ever read. It is at times incredibly problematic, but the deconstruction - unusually for this kind of work - works on a structural level.

I'd have to reread to go into deeper specifics. It may or may not be to your tastes - I'd call the odds on 50-50, perhaps 60-40 in favour, so I wouldn't be entirely comfortable recommending it as something you would like - but I think he's doing interesting deconstruction, myself, particularly the second book.
