Going in, I expected a somewhat lackluster, run-of-the-mill fantasy story whose popularity reduced to it being a “classic”. In some sense, it was just that. But it was also a bit more, and that bit more is what made it enjoyable. The writing is very rich and poetic. While the story is simple, it is endearing and heartfelt. The book is full of irreverent humor, which I had not expected, but thoroughly enjoyed.
