I started this novel on audible and while appealing it was very Lord of the Ring type… High Epic fantasy is often hard for me to get into. The long journeyed novels often get boring. I need action, dialogue.
While there was plenty of actions and certainly enough dialogue there was a high lulled in the middle of this that left me somewhat bored. It was unfortunately absolutely necessary for this lull as it gave insight needed for the future of this series. By the end I recaptured my attention to what may come and may continue at a later date. For now 3.5 solid stars.
