Just to be real: I only read this book because my mom did not and it has been collecting dust on our shelf for 20 years. She had never even opened it, so she dropped it on my shelf instead. 
I must say that it was quite hard to get into (maybe the fact that I just finished a Maas book did not really help...) but when the story got going, it was better. 

I get the Lord of the Rings hype now, Tolkien's writing style is truly fascinating, but I have found myself not able to read too much of this book at once. This reminds me of Game of Thrones, where I had the exact same feeling. Both writing styles and storylines are amazing and innovative, but I really had to put my mind to it to read it. 

I will be reading the other two parts of Lord of the Rings (my mom dropped those on my shelf as well), but not directly after this one. I don't quite know yet whether I want to read The Hobbit as well, but that will all come later. 

If you liked this book, I would also recommend: the next books in the Lord of the Rings series; the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin
