So I heard a lot of good things about this book, but so far I'm bored to tears, I find all the characters uninteresting, the lack of dialogue overall makes it a rather dull read because I'm told about the characters rather than shown them via their dialogue and the way they speak. I heard such good things about Hobb. Does this get any less awful? Not to mention, I hate the naming scheme. It's so on the nose bad..
