Kedrigern Chronicles, John Morressy
Flat. Flat prose, flat dialogue, flat challenges to the protagonist. If you're amused by representations of wizardry as being a bungee consultant in a two-career marriage in the exurbs, here's your joe.
Terry Pratchett could be said to do that, but if you translated Pratchett novels into mundanity they would still be funny and wry, like David Lodge crossed with A. S. Byatt. If I take the fancy-dress off one of these stories, what's left is a skeleton of description of office politics.
