It's becoming more and more obvious that this is a complete Tolkien ripoff, without being half as well written. Why is this series so hyped? I had such high expectations, and now I am super underwhelmed :(

At around page 300 I started to feel a bit interested in what happens in this book. 300 pages in is too late though. I thought this was going to be the most awesome page turner that happened to me in years. The hype is so extreme, and I've only hear good things about it. I'm disappointed. It's not bad, just not in any way extraordinary either. Maybe the later books in the series are better?

"Now if mythology has taught us anything it is that being raised by wild animals whips more balls than a dominatrix."

It's not awkward, it's urkward. But I have so little left of this book now, that I have to soldier through it.

Jesus. Now the "strong" and "independent" main female character got rescued by her love interest, who also tells her to show more vulnerability so that people wont try to murder her again. Very cliché and blame-the-victim. I'm not sure I'm cut out for YA xD

I'm probably a tad bit too old for this teenage self-centered angst.
