This is the first half of a longer book which had to be split in two for the paperback edition as it would otherwise have simply fallen apart. Although this is probably a sign Tad Williams needs a more ruthless editor it still packs enough excitement on its own, though it leaves you desperate for the conclusion. ( )

Simon, Prince Joshua and Simon's old friend Binabik, the troll realise
there is a bit more to all of this fancy sword business than meets the
eye. There are actually three of these fanastic artifacts, and one of
them had been somewhere obvious all along. The old beaten up sword of
King John is actually one of them, Doh.

The plot thickens. A really long showdown begins in this first part of the third book in the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy. I love how Williams brings all the threads together. Also that his characters aren't just good or evil. The good ones do stupid things as well and the evil ones (apart from Pryrates) also have their very human moments which almost make you feel with them (okay, sometimes they really do). This to me is the biggest and best difference to Lord of the Rings. Tolkien's characters are EITHER good OR evil, no shades really, and I never felt with his characters as I do here. I bow to Williams. ( )

Williams begins to tie together all of the disparate threads from the first two books in the trilogy, as this story draws to its magnificent close. This series definitely counts among my all-time favorite high fantasies. ( )

Epigraph
Y la muerte no tendrá poder.
Los hombres muertos y desnudos serán como el hombre en el viento y en la luna de occidente; cuando sus huesos estén pulidos y ni éstos existan, en sus codos y pies habrá estrellas.
Aunque enloquezcan, estarán cuerdos, aunque se hundan en el mar, volverán a emerger; aunque los amantes se pierdan, el amor no desaparecerá, y la muerte no tendrá poder...
Dylan Thomas (de Y la muerte no tendrá poder)

Di la verdad, pero dila con tacto; el éxito está en el rodeo.
Demasiado resplandeciente para nuestra debilidad es la soberbia sorpresa de la verdad.
Suavizada cual relámpago para los niños con amable explicación, la verdad debe deslumbrar poco a poco, o todo hombre quedaría ciego.
Emily Dickinson.
Dedication
Esta obra está dedicada a mi madre, Barbara Jean Evans, que me inculcó el deseo de buscar otros mundos y de compartir con los demás lo que en ellos encontrara.
A través del nido de ghants, que es un pequeño mundo de angustia y de alegría, se lo dedico a Nancy Deming-Williams, con mucho, mucho cariño.
First words
Guthwulf, conde de Utanyeat, movía los dedos de aquí para llá sobre la gastada madera de la mesa de Juan el Presbítero, preocupado por la anormal quietud.
