There is a reason I've had this book unread on my shelf for a decade. I don't know what compelled me to buy it (probably a random post on reddit), but the whole time I've owned it I've just been like hmm. I don't think this is my type of book. And I was right. If it hadn't been for the audiobook, I don't think I could have actually gotten through this. There was just so much random lore dumped in the first 10% that meant absolutely nothing to the story other than to say look! This place has History! And then there was the meandering quest and the convenient challenges and solutions that had me rolling my eyes. I know this was written in a different time and for a different audience, and I really tried to keep that in mind, but I simply struggled to enjoy reading this. Maybe I would have liked it when I was 10-12 but man. Not today.
