What is it people like about the series?
I'm honestly curious, as I tried to read the first book in the series, thought it was pretty bad and gave up halfway.
The series appears here and elsewhere on people's lists of best fantasy series, and I wonder if I missed something, was in the wrong frame of mind when I read it, or if it simply comes down to differing tastes. The latter seems like the most obvious answer. If you like this series, what do you like about it - the world, characters, storyline, all of the above?
I still have the book on the shelf somewhere. Maybe I should try it again one of these days.
