I know the similarities with the Lord of the Rings are intended, but coupled with the writing, I'm finding it a bit too boring to continue.

I hate giving a low star for this book. I listened to the audio book and had hard time pushing through. I am going to try the next one to see if gets any better.

Dopo 35 anni dalla prima lettura, sono ancora 5 stelle, è un mix perfetto tra trama, colpi di scena e personaggi che prendono vita pagina dopo pagina.

After 35 years from the first reading, it's still 5 stars, it's a perfect mix of plot, twists and characters that come to life page after page.

I made it 5 hours in and I was struggling with it the entire time. Everything is confusing and I find I can’t even keep up with the lore. I really tried but I don’t think this series is for me.

A good story, but a little too detail oriented for my liking. But I enjoyed the twists and turns of the story.
