Finally it’s over.. this took me way too long to finish. I have pretty mixed feelings about it but I think I was biased towards the films from the beginning anyway, having watched both part 1 and 2 before reading.
I see why it’s such a classic, the world building is so in-depth and grand. I can’t put my finger on what I disliked though - I just found myself forcing myself to pick it up, and not particularly looking forward to it.
I’m glad I’ve finished it now, i was determined to get through it. Maybe I’ll try it again one day and will love it.
