Including mine.”—Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times-bestselling author of The Name of the WindTad Williams is a master storyteller, and the Osten Ard books are his masterpiece. —Brandon Sanderson, New York Times-bestselling author of Mistborn“Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is one of the great fantasy epics of all time.”—Christopher Paolini, New York Times-bestselling author of Eragon Very interesting story, however, Ive been trying to read it off and on for several years now. It keeps coming up in lists of other books I love, so I kept going back to it. The writing is very descriptive which may be part of why the story goes so slow, although Ive read a lot of other descriptive books that dont feel this way. The story is really good once you get through it, but honestly I need to take another break before going on to book 2. For reference, I love authors like Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan, George RR Martin, JRR Tolkien, early books by Terry Goodkind (his later books and most recent books are unreadable), Pierce Brown, and Michael J. Sullivan to name a few. Tad Williams is a great writer and his story is awesome, you just have to trudge through so much slowness. Its kind of hard for me to describe the slowness, because nothing felt unnecessary really, just slow. Hopefully that helps. I would recommend the book, but be prepared for a great story that is somehow slow.
