It is really hard for me to get into long form high fantasy like this with all of the time spent on dense world building, but I wanted to read this book. I listened to the audiobook and it was incredible! It didn’t make me want to finish the trilogy, but I was able to get into the book in a way I never had previously. It was especially nice that the pages of ballads were actually sung by the reader, so I got to experience them rather than have that feeling of my eyes glazing over and wanting to skip them that I usually got trying to read the book. I know this series is beloved! And I feel like thanks to the audiobook I got to understand it more.
