beautiful but not a lot of action

pro: beautifully written and interesting characters

con: very limited action. a few cheesey lines that made me cringe.

def not on the same teir as name of the wind, black prism, stormlight archive.

Great fantasy book, but not very well narrated

Read at an awkward pace with fits and starts for breathing like he's trying to rush it. The story itself is amazing if you can get past the narration!

Great story, awful narrator

Love the book and have read it many times now. Unfortunately this narrator is far from good and ruins it for me.

Snore

This book starts off a bit slow but with great potential and then............ Snooze. This may be one of the most boring books I've ever read. The author goes into ad nauseum of the main characters time as a monk. It's terrible, even the relationship stuff is Sooo weak and fails to hold you. I skipped three chapters hoping something new would arise and realized main character was still at monastery.

Nope

This story drags and drags. Nothing happens for huge stretches. I listened to 10 hours on a road trip and kept waiting for it to get exciting. It doesn't. So much foreshadowing for no payoff. Admittedly I did not finish.

Also the narrator gave our hero an annoying voice. Like he was some snot nosed punk. I ended up hating him, and despising his best friend who comes across as the dullest piece of idiotic trash in the universe.
