A Memory of Light

Finally done with the entire series. I started reading, well listening to, it very late in–I think around the time vol. 9 or 10 was the latest. Overall, the story is good, but the characters, esp. early on, were always only 2 1/2 dimensional, always falling back on gender stereotypes of men and women thinking the other is stupid and can't do a thing for themselves, etc. even though they grew up together and know that it isn't the case.

The 14 audio books combined are over 18 days long–I hope Peter Jackson doesn't make this a future series–it will probably be about 3 dozen 3.5 hour installments...I don't think I could take that :)
