Maybe I've stockholmed myself into thinking this was great. Reading it was a bit stressful, because I wanted to finish it before my vacation. Since finishing it, it's grown on me.

I read this when it first came out and it was an utter joy then - twenty years on, it is still an absolute joy
If you like the first page, you'll love the whole book. Undeniably a new cozy "comfort read" for me, with a permanent place on my bookshelf.
As a slow reader I felt like my nightly visits over several months were whisking me off to some mystical land.

I have literally had a copy of this book since it came out and was finally able to read it through the magic of audiobooks. The narrator is very good and does distinct character voices that made it much easier to follow and digest. The book itself was very enjoyable, as long novels often are, once you really get into them. There is A LOT of world building and detail, and the characters were mutlifaceted and interesting and the language surrouning faerie and magic was very evocative. Highly recommended.
