I have realized I have a hard time with high fantasy books, especially these days when I'm older and can't read stuff in a few sittings. Also, it really helps when there's dragons to look forward to :(
Is it a good book? Sure! It just wasn't for me. Not when I was introduced to this author with her comedic sci-fi Murderbot. Very different! Which isn't bad, but not what I wanted. I read around and found out, I guess.
