This was good, but I was expecting it to be much better.
That being said, I quite enjoyed Beagle's writing style, and his quirky mundane interjections amidst lofty overtones 😊
I don't understand how it's considered "seminal fantasy" though, I don't think it deserves that status...
I liked this book a lot, but not in the way that it seems other people do; there are so many rave reviews that i almost feel like i'm missing something. maybe it was over-hyped.
