Read this in a single sitting when I nursing a bad case of laryngitis!
Far too many "lithe" characters and I got pretty tired of hearing about the hair color of every female character.
The intro of the Death Knight was cool.
I'm not saying this is objectively great or anything, but it was formative to me as a teenager, and rereading it now I'm pleased by some of the complexity.
