Realm Breaker is a good story, I'll give it that. But I felt like so much of this book was setting up what is going to happen and introducing characters. Rather than giving a substantial story, especially given how long it is.
I think the only reason I could cope with how slow it was was because I saw somewhere that it was inspired by Lord of the Rings. And if you've read those books you know just how slow they are.
I enjoyed it and I'm definitely interested in seeing what's going to happen in this series.
But I really hope that pace picks up and the story really gets going.
