Ha, this was the book club selection this month? I coincidentally started listening to the audio book last week, but I'm just using it as a bedtime story, which can mean less than 20 minutes per day actually listening. I'm only up to the point just after he brings back the Chronicler after the spider-beast bonfire. So far it's...less than compelling, which is kind of what I look for in a bedtime story

The emphasis on stories and nursery rhymes seems a little forced, and in general the world just isn't filling out for me--all the characters seem more like 'types' than people, and the places and culture seem just barely sketched in.
