Read as part of the BBC’s top 100 book challenge. I’m getting nearer the end of the challenge and had been putting this one off as I didn’t think I would enjoy it. How wrong I was! This is a fast paced fantasy adventure novel that had a similar ish feel (though less wordy and complex) than Lord of the Rings. I particularly liked following the adventures of Pug. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is I was a bit disappointed by the ending, some of the problems seemed a bit too easily and conveniently solved.
