Going to try again.... 3rd time.

Finally. Ok. This time was better. I'll go on to the next book and hopefully finish the series.
I guess my gripe is that it feels too long, seems like a lot of filler before the story is told.

Ah well… This instalment slumps into proper D&D ‘two-hexes-and-a-random-monster-roll’ travelogue. The writing is not very good: lot of telling instead of showing (a particularly annoying habit is the adverb-emotion combination—I just have to take the author’s word that one of the characters is ‘strangely confused’, not really knowing why it would be strange), a lot of deus ex machina going on, and so on. Yet, there is some kind of innocent attractiveness that makes me want to finish the series. Hence, the two stars.

There's something to be said for a book that's a breezy, unchallenging read. It's not very complex, and extremely trope-heavy. But there's a legitimate humor in the series. This is when it starts getting pretty good. Wouldn't call it a classic, but it's a good series for youth to read because it goes by fast and Eddings doesn't waste time with unnecessary descriptions.
