Loved LoTR books & movies.
Hobbit wasn't great but ok.
Series is sub-par at best.
This series is so poorly written it's not funny. I couldn't care less about casting if dialogue, character development & story well written but this is not.
Galadriel is so unlikeable I am so disappointed. She spends most of her time talking down to others. She is a Mary Sue through & through.
Also feels a bit preachy & full of coincidences which just shows how poorly written this is. This world is so small characters can run into each other on the ocean &/or traverse the continent in days. Coincidences are lazy writers fallback.
I don't understand why people accept this poor standard of writing. Are you that desperate for entertainment?
Will try again when better writers are hired. Wouldn't recommend.
