For me that was the first wheel of time book. First ones definitely stay with you. For me the Hobbit seemed lackluster, finished it in one evening and it felt too basic
oh man starting with wheel of time im not surprised you found the hobbit lackluster. surprised you liked lord of the rings with that as a start. thing is that it would have never existed without much of what came before.
LotR was good, had depth. Hobbit? That was a novel in readers digest. 😅
It's a children's book.
Yeah and even as a kid it was too basic (after reading WoT)
Depends on the age, I guess.
My parents read it with me when I was 7 or 8, and it started a life-long fascination with fantasy books.
yeah but magic in wot destroyed the world. heck hobbit practically had more visible magic than lotr
That's the trouble with children's books... Lol
I've only read The Hobbit once but I'm trying to get my kid into it.
