I read this book because I wanted to re-read a book I have mostly forgotten. This was one of the possible options I found. I still don't know whether I have read this before or not. Many things were familiar but not as much as they should've been. Maybe it was just familiarity with the themes and tropes in this book.

In any case I did enjoy it. Some lengths here and there but overall a nice read. Recommended if you enjoy portal fantasy and a good standalone fantasy novel. God knows those are quite rare.
