I'm not typically a fantasy fan, but I thought I'd give this one a try. Unfortunately, within only a few pages, it's incredibly hard to read because there are just so many made up words and names and places. I understand that the beginning of books are supposed to help set you up for the rest of the book, but it was so hard to trudge through all that before you could even get into the real book. I was disappointed in what I've seen so far of this one.
