After reading tons of fast paced books I. The past couple months, I kind need a slow burn book and this is perfect.

The first 3rd of the book is really slow…..actually too slow for my liking and I’ve struggled a bit.

However, once Tad Williams get going, it has been amazing and I can clearly see where did the Game of Thrones got inspirations from.

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

Senseless animal cruelty was the last straw. There are lots of ways to tell me a character is evil, pointless cruelty is the least creative.
I do most of my reading by audio these days and the narration on this was really monotone and hard to listen to. I can usually get through 4-7 hours at a time, this I would listen to an hour and feel like I missed half, so have to go back, etc. I think it’s partly writing style and partly the monotonous narration. It’s a bummer but there’s so many other books to read that don’t read like pulling teeth, so yeah…

This has a nostalgic, classic fantasy feel. You can clearly see how The Dragonbone Chair influenced authors like George R. R. Martin and Robin Hobb.

Simon is hard to connect with. He’s bland, often frustrating, and very much a clueless 15-year-old. I often wished we had more perspectives from characters like Josua, Maegwin, Miriamele, or even Pryrates, who all felt more complex and compelling. Thankfully, Binabik and his wolf bring wisdom and charm. I’m curious to learn more about the trolls and the Sithi.

Some of the abrupt shifts to political scenes were a bit disruptive and hard to follow. I enjoyed the prose, and I’ll continue the series to see how Simon develops and how the world’s cultures unfold.
