When I read LOTR as a kid, I couldn't stand the scene descriptions that ran for multiple pages. Drove me mad, didn't understand what it was there for. Many years later I discovered I have aphantasia, no wonder I hated it.

Oh my wording there was awkward... I love the story, hated the multi-page scene descriptions due to my aphantasia (inability to form real world images in my mind)

Haven't read them! Probably should. Wheel of Time was fine.

Haven't read that one yet.. Last one I did was the Witcher Series after I watched the Netflix series... Those are really good too but shorter, nice to have it done in like 300-400 pages lol

Played the first game, loved it... just don't have the time for reading like in my youth. And I keep putting off watching the Netflix series because I want to savor it with my full attention but I never end up watching it as a result 🤣
