This was an absolutely epic tale that had all the great vibes of an Arthurian legend retelling. I found the broad concept to be super unique - a land sustained on the belief of tales, but very specifically in that each tale is connected to a piece of land on the Isle, and if that tale was forgotten, so too would the land connected to it disappear.

I'm in two minds about how I feel about this book. On the one hand, I'm impressed by the scale of the story and by some of the best character development I've ever read. On the other hand, knowing the history and serious allegations against the author has seriously tainted my reading experience. That, and the fact that by the fourth book (as this is a bind up of books 1-4), I found things edged toward tedious.
