Loading... City of Golden Shadow (1996)by Tad Williams
I kept praying for this book to end...and then when it did, I found out that it was just the beginning. I really didn't want to stick around for the rest, so my experience with this series ended with book 1. Flat characters, not enough explanation of terms and scenarios, and stiff sequencing made this book a real trial to get through. Not what I want when I sit down to read. (  ) millieanne | May 19, 2013 |  I tried to like this book, I really tried. But after I got stuck on page fifty four times, I gave up. (  ) MissWatson | Apr 24, 2013 | My full review of the series will be on Sea of Silver Light, but I loved this book as a start. It could have been shorter, if some subplots were left out or shortened or seen through different eyes, and it's not apparent how everything will come together at the end. One of my major literary things is family relationships, and I love the complexity of the relationships in Renie's family. (  ) shanaqui | Apr 9, 2013 | This book reeled me in! ( ) Chris.Graham | Apr 5, 2013 | The books were massive and would take me a year to get through. But I was enthralled. ( ) akmargie | Apr 4, 2013 | no reviews | add a review

Settle in for a long, enjoyable ride, because this 770-page monster is just the first of four projected novels.(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:47:38 -0500) In a strange world of the near future, where virtual reality encompasses all aspects of society and boundaries are limited only by the power of the imagination, a dark conspiracy involving the world's most powerful individuals threatens to destroy everything.… (more) |
