I can't believe I waited so long to read these books. I've loved the movies since childhood and was always told that the books were so full of detail that they made for a rather boring read.

While there is a great deal of detail and information that is purely world building with no obvious effect on the story, I couldn't have loved it more.

I absolutely loved how much more complete the end of the story is in the novel. I was left much more satisfied. All the effort felt rewarded, not just survived.

There are so many subtle little details that at first seemed unimportant, but the more I thought over the story, the more I found the little things to mean the most.

Several points in the story surprised me, even being familiar with the movies and plot.

Once again the side characters stole my heart. While our main heroes are important and loveable, it was the courage and honor of the "less important" that I found inspiring.

This is a story I will always treasure and will likely read again.

The book was pretty slow, and at times it drug on and I found the politics boring. I admittedly had to skim some parts. However, the characters made the story worthwhile.
