3.0

I have to remind myself how much I loved the beginning of this book so I don't rate it lower. It started so strong with the cultiness and creepiness and the ritualistic murders and mysterious deserted villages. But man is the middle of this book a slog. I could not care less for the portal stones and Cairhien and most of the main characters are still annoying as f*ck. I found the ending good, but rather messy. Loial remains the best character closely followed by Hurin.
