The principal character is a wizard who hates everyone including his own relatives, who tolerates those weaker than himself if for no other reason they're never to be a threat to him, and usually ends up not being anyway near as evil as he'd like to think he is. At one point he tries to become a god, but then decides the universe isn't big enough for his ego, so thinks better of it
The rest is standard tolkien esque fare, but slightly tongue in cheek but readable none the less
Can't say it lacked fighting really, but admitedly character iteraction is just as importantDoing the needful since 1827Comment
