The first 3 hours of the book were pretty much the same. I kept expecting for a plot, it didn't happen.

This is a very tame history. A teenager boy who is the last in line to the throne becomes the king as his father and his ~3 brothers die in an accident.

Everybody hates him because he is half goblin in an elven court. His father had married his mother for political reasons, and never expected her to get pregnant.

The book narrates in details the process of him becoming a king, in the same way I'd describe in many hours the process of tying my shoes.
