The history itself is interesting, but the way its told , not so much.

The first part is kinda boring, and most of the stuff that the protagonist tells us are kinda irrelevant.

All the time is saying names of places, places that I don't know and can't put in a map, so I don't get transported to the world. In that sense, I don't think you feel like you are there.

The second part is a bit more interesting, and the tension is higher, but it lacks something, I don't know exactly what.

Its a classic because its one of the first books of its genre, but I don't think it is a good book.
