It's long, BUT IT'S SOOOO WORTH IT!

I didn't think I would love this book, but here we are. This is a masterpiece. It's one big and rich adventure story with a set of fantastic characters. Some stories are heartwarming, others are sad, but there's a great balance of the two. This may be more than 1200 pages, but it didn't bore me for a second. It's a complex story filled with smaller stories and adventures, but every single page is wonderful. I won't stop talking about this book for a long time. It's just too good.
