It's a "realistic" take on the fantasy quest, where the dark lord characters have their own motivations and storylines, the heroes are fleshed out and feel human, and it successfully hits all the emotional character and story beats it goes for. All of the characters are great. By part 5 I was on board with both the heroes and the villains, and the ending is bittersweet kino. Even if it is too long like what I said in my last post, I still think it's definitely worth it.
It also suffers a little from bows and arrows = guns syndrome, but that's so prevalent in fantasy you wouldn't notice unless it's something that irritates you.
