Struggling with LOTR style narrative. Part Viking saga, part Grimms Fairy Tales, there is a remoteness in the narrator that leaves me feeling inconsequential. I probably won't finish this book. I think I prefer more a character driven slant on fantasy rather than the epic sweeping drama that uses its characters as foils to illustrate how a 'place' came to be.
