I see the appeal. It's well written epic fantasy thru and thru.

But I am just so not in the mood for an info dump on the worldbuilding and the slow pace. I know nothing is really happening in a book when it takes me 2 weeks to read 100 pages of it. Then, I skipped to 90% to see if it sped up, and saw no significant difference in the plot or tone.
And so I'm acting on my goal to DNF more books
