Thirty-sixth challenge finish of the year.
I had a really hard time selecting a book to fit this prompt. A friend has been recommending this series for about a year now. It's not a genre I usually reach for, but for historical/magical fiction it's done well. I like the characters. I like the writing. Good story.
On the other hand, it is long at 694 pages. It has a lot of wizard, dwarf, elfen, and magical creatures that have names that are hard to decide how to pronounce, and I believe I've said here before that if I don't have a fixed pronunciation in my mind, I stumble over it every time I come across it in the story. It makes a long book even longer for me.
I'm not ruling out reading the next in the series sometime, but I don't think it will be this year.
