The story is so derivative it’s hard to get through, and the deus ex machina of the ending is so heavy it ruins the entire story.

I would recommend LOTR any day over that series.

I'm going to disagree. My opinion is that the books are terrible. Poorly written

I agree. The concept of magic in those books is my favorite. I don’t read much

I actually liked the movie when I first saw it. Then I read the book for the first time... The movie sucked!!!
