Legend was the first fantansy bok i ever read and it got me hooked on the genre, You cant beat DG for heroic fantasy, so, there's no real court intrige and no world shattering magic to end a war, but theres plenty of great fight scenes, be it one on one or full on war.
I like the fact that not all the heroes are good guys (or girls), and that heroes can die the same as any one else and a hero doesn't have to be some high born noble but just a common person who decides to make a stand because its the right thing to do.
I always thought that Legend evoked plenty of emotion, be it from Druss, Rek, Orin, Hogun etc, but I guess its not to everyones taste.

As Biodriod says, try some more, Legend was his first, but theres plenty of great books of his to try before deciding if he's for you or not but I can honestly say that I've never been dissapointed with any of his works.
