The Stone of Farewell (Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn)

Tad Williams

DAW Trade, 2005

Amazing!!!!
This is one of the best fantasy stories I've ever read, and I couldn't wait to get this book right after I finished Dragonbone Chair. A plus for this version: this book is larger in size, easy to hold, and much easier to read. A must buy!!!!

Tailchaser's Song

Tad Williams

DAW, 2000

wonderful story
Tailchaiser's Song was a wonderfully written story. The minute you start to read- the characters come to life and you want to read it in one sitting, but are sad to end the story. Wish there was a part 2.

To Green Angel Tower, Book Three: Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn

Tad Williams

DAW Trade, 2005

Great Classic Fantasy
Williams's novel has familiarity, but look at this way. There are movies out there that have a familiar story but the acting is great. That is this novel. The story may move along slowly but this allows the charcters to become more developed and permits multiple points ...

Shadowmarch: Volume I (Shadowmarch)

Tad Williams

DAW, 2006

Great High Fantasy for the right kind of reader
Shadowmarch: Volume I (Shadowmarch Trilogy) People who have read Tad's other books are likely to find many similarities and this might bother them, but this book really does deliver what Tad does best. This is high fantasy and it is excellent. This book kept me ...

River of Blue Fire (Otherland, Volume 2)

Tad Williams

DAW, 1999

Otherland....Greatest Sci-Fi Series of All Time!
I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed reading the Otherland series. In my opinion, it is the greatest epic novel ever written, even better than Lord of the Rings. I particularly liked that it was a book that was relevant to our times; I think a lot of what Tad ...

Otherland Vol. 4: Sea of Silver Light

Tad Williams

DAW, 2002

Great Series, Great Book
(very small spoiler alert!) Tad Williams' Otherland series is one of the best sci-fi/fantasy series out there. He is an elegant writer; a master of character development; and he excels at unexpected (though not unwelcome) plot twists and story resolutions. My one ...

Mountain of Black Glass (Otherland, Volume 3)

Tad Williams

DAW, 2000

Otherland....Greatest Sci-Fi Series of All Time!
I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed reading the Otherland series. In my opinion, it is the greatest epic novel ever written, even better than Lord of the Rings. I particularly liked that it was a book that was relevant to our times; I think a lot of what Tad ...

To Green Angel Tower, Part 2 (Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, Book 3)

Tad Williams

DAW, 1994

Wow!!!
I am speechless. Tad Williams wraps up Memory Sorrow and THorn, leaving the reader with a feeling that they would like to know the further adventures of the characters they have grown to love for 3,000 pages. That's the only drawback when reading a lengthy novel with ...

City of Golden Shadow (Otherland, Volume 1)

Tad Williams

DAW, 1998

Great Writing filled with Mystery, Suspense, and Wonder
City of Golden Shadow (Otherland, Volume 1) is an extremely well written book written for the indulgent, imaginative reader. This book is not for the impatient or action-addicted. Though this book is not devoid of fast paces and action, it mostly goes at its own pace. ...

Shadowplay: Shadowmarch Volume II (Shadowmarch)

Tad Williams

DAW Trade, 2008

Great Sequel
The second book keeps you just as interested as the first. The story line gets quite a bit more twisted around and many of the plots from the first are addressed and expanded on. Definitely worth the buy if you enjoyed Shadowmarch.

Gormenghast (Book Two of the Gormenghast Trilogy)

Mervyn Peake

Overlook TP, 2007

Intoxicating
This is a review of Gormenghast, that is, the second part of the Gormenghast trilogy (after Titus Groan, and before Titus Alone). After a somewhat slow beginning, in which Mervyn Peake first briefly summarizes Titus Grown by drawing up a list of which characters have ...

The Helmet of Fate

Gail Simone, Steve Niles, ...

DC Comics, 2007

SOME GOOD...SOME BAD
This trade paperback collects the five one-shot specials as the helmet of Doctor Fate traveled from hand to hand in an effort to find a new bearer of the responsibilities of Doctor Fate, sans its Lord of Order, Nabu. The Helmet comes to Detective Chimp, Sargon the ...

Child of An Ancient City

Tad Williams, Nina Kiriki Hoffman

Tor Fantasy, 1999

Excellent Story; well worth your money
A very interesting book. A group of travellers is ambushed by bandits. Then, their companions are slowly killed off by this mysterious "vampyr", which drains them of blood. Then, it challenges them. Whoever tells the saddest story lives, but in the end, it wins. ...

The Dragonbone Chair (Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn)

Tad Williams

DAW Trade, 2005

Aaack! Can't put it down!
I've heard about this trilogy for a while now, but was a little daunted at how long each book was! Dragonbone Chair had a slow start, but a friend of mine told me to wait it out. I'm glad I did. The ending was fantastic! I couldn't wait to get my shipment for the 2nd ...

Rite: Short Work

Tad Williams, Mark Nelson

Far Territories, 2008

Tad's first collection
Tad's first collection of short and non-fiction is not just a collection, but also a career retrospective. RITE includes material from a twenty-year career and is certainly a must-buy for any Tad Williams fan. The stories collected here can show a broader range of ...
