I'm an avid reader of fantasy. I write fantasy.
I-could-not-read-this-book.
After reading tons of positive reviews and hearing about this fabulous epic series, I decided to start it. I'm reading huge series anyway (WoT, ASoFaI) so I thought I might as well add to the list.
The book was truly nothing like what I expected. People told me it was very complex but I found it *too* complex. 200 pages in, I gave up.
This is the first time in my life that I've given up on a book. I even read all the Twilight books. If anyone has read this series, I'd appreciate it if you shared your opinion. I'm surprised that I couldn't get past the first third of the book when so many others did.
Primarily, the characters and jumping plots just didn't hold my attention. And some of the sentences are unnecessarily (IMO) complex and convoluted. I read some of the low rated Amazon reviews and reviewers mention that there is a lot of Deus Ex and unexplained events. I thought that the magic system etc... would be explained later on. Was it? I'm curious and I'm never going to know otherwise.
Experiences?
