>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 4 01:04:05 2017 No.10352446 >>10352419 I hate to break it to you, anon, but the Prologue actually has some of the better prose in the series.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 4 01:16:53 2017 No.10352475 What did you expect of genre shit? It not any better than some shitty light novel.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 4 01:21:26 2017 No.10352488 >>10352419 Prolouge was unironically the best part of the book. After having read the word "Trolloc" about 140 times, I set the book down and walked away. Probably made it to chapter 4.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 4 01:48:43 2017 No.10352584 It was original back when it came out in 1984, back then people were only writing high/epic fantasy stuff. See also the Black Company, the whole "we're the bad guys" thing is a bit trite now thanks to everybody imitating it.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 4 03:19:55 2017 No.10352866 Children of Hurin? It has an epic prologue though.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 4 09:33:34 2017 No.10353687 Literally half of Wheel is pointless exposition

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 4 11:03:35 2017 No.10353973 >>10352584 Eye of the World was released in 1990. And even then it was pretty generic. Someone on /lit/ referred to the series as 'boring and nonsensical,' and I think that's a good description.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 4 11:06:59 2017 No.10353984 read the first ~200 pages of this when i was a teenager and had to drop it for being so dull

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 4 14:44:23 2017 No.10354817 >>10352419 A friend of mine actually said to not be intimidated or bored by the obvious good vs. evil shit in the first book, because the other books just get better and better but I can’t see how they would
