I read this because I was under the impression it was one of the cornerstones of fantasy, and the audible narrator has a particularly nice reading voice. I enjoyed it, but it could've been shortened significantly without losing the story. A product of its time. A good book, non-main characters were less developed than I would like.

Lots of typos and unnecessary character POVs that add nothing to the story. Writing is okay, and story is pretty straightforward. Main characters are very good though.

A solid fantasy book, albeit a bit slow-paced and perhaps catered towards younger audiences

This was a close call between 3 and 4 stars. It took me forever to get into this story. Actually I started it, read about 50-80 pages and then put it back on the shelf. Two years later I took it with me on holiday, tried it again (I thankfully can jump in were I left of even after long periods of time), and put it down again. But then it happened - I've read all my other books, and there was still 4 days of holiday left! So, rather than not reading at all, I picked it up again.

And so I trudged through, slowly at first, but the farther I got in, the more I did enjoy the story, and the more I got sucked in. At the end, the book had really gripped me, and wouldn't let go! I was even sad I didn't bring the second with me (I've bought all four in one go).

So in the beginning it was a clear 1 star. At the end it felt like a 5 star, and I was hooked! I would tend to three stars, as I sually never would have kept going with that slow entrance, but I really can't make myself go lower than 4 stars, with the fervent glow it left me with.

So decide yourself, if you are willing to commit to this story ;)

(I haven't started the rest uet, as there are just so unbelievably much pages to go through, and so much other books waiting, but when I get some longer free time, I plan to dive right in and read them back to back.)
