If you’re coming from quick, 500 page cute lil fantasies this book will feel like watching paint dry.
Maybe it’s different if you’re a connoisseur of the epic tome, but honestly things didn’t get epic here until over halfway through and epic is a generous adjective.
It’s cool how things resolved themselves but the detail we had to absorb along the way rivaled Dickens’ longest work.
A+ comeuppance for villains and some humor and wit.
F for absolutely tanking my time to completion average.
