The writing style is so bad that it distracts from the high points of the novel that you describe. Although I disagree on one point: the songs were a waste of space. The movie actually entertains me so it gets the edge.

I love the writing style. No other book that I can think of has a style that so brilliantly brings to life that kind of old world magic, while still being readable to a modern audience. I guess you could say that it has a dumbed down Shakespeare vibe, but it brings majesty to high fantasy in a way that I have never seen duplicated.
