I am reminded of The Shadow of the Torturer, the whole Book of the New Sun, which is far future science fiction playing at fantasy, and brilliant. I do feel explaining too much is a curse on both genres, I really don't care how your faster than light travel works - just tell me it's several skips and spooky and dangerous in your other dimension. No, I don't want your rigorous magic system explained to me. It needs to be weird and dangerous and unpredictable. Explain the minimum you need.
