Honestly I can see how this is a genuine classic and pillar of the genre. However, I don’t feel like it has aged particularly well. There was a startling lack of dialogue for me. Additionally there was just SO much fat it terms of how the islands were described.
Modern fantasy does so much better, but it couldn’t have without this first and I respect it for that.
