I can understand why. There's so much story building, it gets boring in certain parts and stays that way for pages and pages. 👍
Its not so much the story building, its just that the protagonist is incredibly whiny and unlikable. I mean I did read the first book and some of the 2nd, just couldnt get through it. I've read a lot of the longer fantasy series, Malazan, Wheel of Time, etc.. and I know there are slogs to get through that pay off in the end but I just couldnt do it with that one.
Lol. I wonder if Donaldson was going through a tough patch of life when he wrote it.
