did not like it

This was abyssmal, I don't even know why I continued to the end.
Writing is terrible.
Loong winded metaphors, which the protagonist is even able to contemplate while stumbling.
Every situation is *the worst ever* for the protagonist even though he's an somewhat elderly barbarian (at least he has the ability to beserk, but apparently only if mocked while being drunk and not in lifethreatening situations)
A scene where a "world class" assassin fails to notice an elderly wizard taking a nightly p*ss close by.
Our protagonist sleeping through a man getting his face punched in mere yards away and then in the next chapter being a "light sleeper" who awakens at someone being knocked unconcious in another room.
Contradicting the story: Looking at a monsters huge claws. Then having it rear and ... reveal its claws.
A tribe not understanding our (anti)heroes language until a point has to be made, and everyone listens i rapt attention.
A person seeming to be in mortal danger of falling 10 feet into (admittedly shitty) water and just crawling up out of it, because there is no longer a 10 feet drop?!
... and it goes on and on and on...
The plot itself is like a DnD campaign for imbeciles - If you haven't read ALL other books in the Fantasy section, do yourself a favour and look somewhere else.
