And we now arrive at Chapter 6. Definitely increasing my ability to familiarise myself with the narrative.

I am very slowly moving along with this. Don't think it's a fault of the book per se as I am distracted, however, as it's so disjointed my distractions can easily pull me away.

Slower going but I am enjoying it.

A complete, and not surprising, tonal shift from the LOTR.

So far it's interesting and painting a very good picture of the place & people's temperament.

I'm almost getting a sense of De Bernieres's Latin American trilogy but with a greater realism to it, which likely tracks, given the lack of Magic Realism (at least so far, I don't know what happens in this book at all).
