Shadowmarch by Tad Williams
September 16th, 2007 by lrc
From the author of the massive fantasy trilogy: Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn and equally massive sci-fi series: Otherland, comes Shadowmarch, the first volume of Tad William’s new trilogy.
Williams has returned to a fantasy setting since Otherland with his recent standalone contemporary fantasy novel, The War of the Flowers and now Shadowmarch.
I consider Tad Williams to be required reading for anyone who considers themselves a fan of fantasy and/or sci-fi. Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn and Otherland are excellent series. His recent stuff is not quite as riveting, but it is entertaining.
Williams’ more recent worlds have seemed darker and humorless compared to the first two series. My advice: if you haven’t read Memory, Sorrow and Thorn or Otherland yet, read those first; and if you still have an hunger for more Tad, then move on to Shadowmarch. I wouldn’t recommend this as an introduction to the author, but it whets the appetite.
