I first started reading this while on a Fantasy kick...then I realized how large the book was. Despite the amount of time it took me to finish this book I really enjoyed it. Truly an epic fantasy. Those who has read (or watched) The Lord of the Rings will see similarities but the story is different and refreshing to those who need something as large as Middle Earth
