Thoughts
Where to start... This was boring. The first half of this book was so slow, so dragged out it was really hard to get into. At the start I like that it was told in a fairytale like way but I got over it very quickly.
I love Gandalf in the films but in the books he was a bit obnoxious which I didn't love.
The plot line also followed the same pattern which got old very fast. So yeah not much nice things to say about this.
The world was very descriptive and expansive which is good but the descriptions by the end got old.
So yeah overall average read. But I'm glad I read it because I can see where some current day fantasies got inspiration.
