The start of my favorite series

It unfolds in the traditional Tolkein archetype before branching out and quickly becoming its own epic fantasy. I highly recommend the series.

Needless to say, I'm glad that I have a huge list of books ahead of me whenever I'm in the mood to relax with a good story.

I have lost count of the times I have read and reread this series over the past 18 years, as addicted now as when I began reading it as a teen.

A must for people who enjoy epic fantasy.

Second Time

The first I did not enjoy it much, but the second time around it was much better.
