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. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2006/12... 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. no reviews | add a review
