Title: Not as good as the first book
Review: This was a good read, not a great read.I started reading this series because it was oft compared to the works of Tolkien, which I would not do. The only similarities I see are that it is a work of fantasy and it is epic (is big). It does not have nearly the richness of history of the Tolkien books. Maybe it stacks up very favorably against modern day fantasy series (McAffery, Anthony, Donaldson, Brooks), but still does not come close to Tolkien.
Is the review positive or negative?
