Reading: The Wander's Tale

Picked up a new book today at the bookstore. It is part 1 of a 2 part series by by an author I have never read named David Bilsborough. The title of the work is The Wanderer's Tale.
This title intrigued me because the title reminds of Diablo2 and the concept of the wanderer found in Diablo 2 lore. Looking at the front and back cover I think I'm getting in a Lord of the Rings like book with a motley crew of heroes against an ancient, malevolent evil. Sounds good to me!
- progress: I read the prologue, part of Chapter 1 and reviewed the Glossary.
- initial thoughts: a vast world with Giants, mythical creatures, magic, Dragons, a vast continent-based world.
- reading response: I get the feeling I'm getting too much detail as I read the book thus far. I like the details, but not so much detail on every little person, area, time of day, type of insects .... found under the sun! :P
It's good so far, and I hope I get into thick plot(line) shortly. I hope I'm setup ok for the second book due out in 2008.
