For that reason, I expect this p I began this novel a number of years ago, reaching as far as chapter 9 or 10 at least. For that reason, I expect this project to take multiple months. I am not quite stalled, but progress is slow. Apr 05, Oliver rated it it was ok. It felt like a duology put in one book. The speed picked up considerably at the end, but the last 50 pages were for the closure of the story.
McKiernan put as much focus on that part as he did on the longer journeys. It may bring us closer to the characters, but it took me nearly a month to finish this book This book was one of my best childhood memories. Somebody lent it to me and I have remembered it since. All my life trying to find it, or hoping for a new edition.
Finally got it in a book market a couple of years ago.
In my opinion, the finest, purest epic fantasy. A book that I'm very happy I found, because I would love for my children or any body else's to read.

Nov 06, Dane rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Everyone. Recommended to Dane by: Just happened to find it on a shelf at the bookstore. This is one of the books that made me fall totally in love with Fantasy novels. I found both the author and the story so believeable that I was totally absorbed in the book. I have read this book so many times that I've had to replace it twice, and I still laugh and cry along with the characters. If you don't read any other fantasy novel, make sure you read this one. This is possibly the best book i have ever read. It actually made me cry when one of the characters not telling who died.
It hade fantastic action sceans and wonderfully developed characters and two romance side stories. The elves home land was wonderfully thought out and the bad guy is one of the worst out there.
Just writing this review makes me want to read it again. Nov 24, Anna rated it did not like it. Parts of it were very good, but the scattered fragments didn't make the whole especially remarkable. It had the feel of a sequel--I realize it featured repeat characters, but even so it didn't have to feel like 'part 3 of 4'. Some of the characters were better-developed than is usual for this author, but there was a bit too much melodrama. Drama: OK. Melodrama: not so much. Sep 20, Brian Allen rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasy , fiction. I recommend this book to fans of Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings, for this book feels like one of its many spiritual children.

Great read Bit of a frankenstein rip off though. May 20, Erik Ammon added it Shelves: dnf. I got through about 50 pages or so. Maybe it'll be good, maybe not. But, if after 50 pages I don't want to read it while eating breakfast before work, it hits the DNF shelf. Feb 06, Darin Lee rated it really liked it.

What a deliciously evil bad guy. Really, one of the worst bad guys I have read.
And there are some pretty graphically violent scenes. The characters are amazing. I fell in love with them. Sep 11, Mr Stewart added it. I read this when I was in the my teens. Positive memories but I can't remember enough to give a rating. Apr 29, Gerry rated it it was amazing.
This is the best of the Mithgar books so far. Still have the last two of them to go but I can't remember them being this good. I dig it.
