What a way to end a great trilogy! This was exactly my kind of book, but I can see how it would drag for some people and not be enjoyable. I listened to the entire trilogy on audio, the Andrew Wincott version and I highly recommend!

Loooooooooove <3 I don't even know how to review this book... it's massive. LOT's happen... it's amazing. I especially loved Miriamele's plot, and Tiamak's. Interesting new build characters on Cadrach and Camaris too.

Definitely a 4 or 5 star book. Much of GoT can be found in these and the two previous novels....the story is a masterwork of fantasy, romance and action...This last book is a carpel tunnel inducing tome of no small significance...worth the effort tho imho...

This trilogy was pretty much my first into fantasy. It was right after my first child was born and I had a lot of time stuck in the house to read. I had kind of thought fantasy was for, you know, geekish people which was a problem considering my husband and two best friends were all into it. I have now entered the geek and proud of it crowd. These books were wonderful and I have not stopped reading fantasy since.

A satisfying ending to an engaging trilogy. I can see why this final tome was originally published in two parts—it was a definite door-stop! I sprained my wrist two years ago, and I found that old injury aching at the end of lengthy reading sessions!However, the size of the volume was necessary in order to tie up the many, many loose ends from the first two books. I especially appreciated the return of “Rachel the Dragon” as an honoured elder lady, even as I grieved the loss of other characters....

Phew! Three volumes and exactly one month later I finally finished this mammoth series. It’s a long, long journey but totally worth it.Although it’s kind of LOTR copycat in terms of structure, it has its own original world, diverse characters and an intricate, multilayered plot. Peter Jackson would make a hell of a movie out of it.This finale volume puts together all the pieces of the puzzle. Every loose thread is weaved in the big canvas. Being a classic fantasy (view spoiler)[it has a happy en...

[Second read: March-April 2017]: DNFMemory, Sorrow & Thorn has not aged well for me. I had to give it up less than 200 pages into To Green Angel Tower. If I were the type to go back and adjust ratings, I’d give four stars to Williams’ later Shadowmarch trilogy, and three for this. Shadowmarch is essentially the same story as MS&T but it’s so much more focused on essential plot without wandering down trackless paths of unnecessary exposition and subplot.While reading, I was thinking to myself tha...

Well, that was... something. Tad Williams, it seems, was ahead of his time in having the final volume of something have to be split across two volumes, as I actually read To Green Angel Tower across two paperbacks, each of which had 800 pages. It was a very long, meandering, interesting journey, at times bogged down by tedium, but at times full of tension, building up to a dramatic finale.In writing about the first book of this series I mentioned that this is kind of like a brother to The Wheel

This book is almost hard to review, because it is basically 4 books, just in terms of length. I have been reading it as the main book I have been reading for 16 days.Overall, I thought it was good. I definitely was expecting to like it more, I had it as one of my 5 star predictions at the start of the year, and it did not come close to that. My enjoyment was somewhat uneven, with some bits being a bit of a struggle. With some being great. It is a great bridge in the genre, which I know is among

This is one of my favourite series, ever. Tad Williams is my favourite author of fantasy. I met him once, and he is also hilariously funny and a good guy.So, I can not give an unbiased review, hee hee. :-) Only praise for this series and everything else Tad writes.I was looking for fantasy books like Lord of the Rings when someone recommended me this. And while you shouldn't compare anything to Tolkien in terms of writing (my humble opinion), these books are a whole different category. So I can

Wrapping up more than 2000 pages of storytelling, To Green Angel Tower is a wholly satisfying conclusion to a super solid and influential fantasy series. Though I found the first book, The Dragonbone Chair , to be a bit plodding with innumerable ancillary characters, by the time I started To Green Angel Tower I might as well have been preparing a thesis in Osten Ard's lore. It is at first a challenge to acclimate to the slow seduction and melancholy tone of Williams' world, but it is a challe...

It’s not perfect, and it’s a novel that (silly to point out, maybe, in reference to a 1,100-page book) sometimes feels overlong even though, thinking back, I can’t quite see what might have been left out to shorten it that wouldn’t have been a loss of something that deserved its place. But To Green Angel Tower is such an emotionally satisfying conclusion and such an extraordinarily impressive narrative that it seems wrong to withhold anything from it here. Though this whole series struggles a bi...

To Green Angel Tower is an action packed, exciting and all-around excellent ending to Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy. However, there were definitely times throughout the book that I felt like To Green Angel Tower was longer than it needed to be and occasionally featured scenes that felt redundant, with multiple scenes kind of feeling like a repeat of previous scenes throughout the book, and I felt like that didn't exactly help move the plot forward when that happened. That being...

It feels so good to finally be able to finish a fantasy series! So many of the ones I'm currently reading aren't finished and its so frustrating having to wait years for the story to continue. To green angel tower, part 2 is the second half of the final book in the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy. It was exactly what I've been waiting for while reading series. The first two books of the trilogy were kind of a roller-coaster, good at times but I also find myself daydreaming during other parts of...

This trilogy was insanely long to listen to (around 130 hours), but it's a classic example of epic fantasy with immense world-building. It's definitely slow and bogged down at times, but the characters really grew on me, and I loved how they all came together, especially at the end. Despite everything they face and suffer, I was left with a warm feeling by the end.

Ful review to come. This was a buddy read with Laura from Fantasy Buddy Reads and there's not much I can say to add to the discussion of this trilogy besides the fact that it's one of the best fantasy trilogies I've ever read.

Reread. Reviewing audiobook soon at www.fantasyliterature.com.

As a whole, it was an entertaining series. I enjoyed the feeling of classic fantasy that it gave me, especially since I've been reading a lot of dark fantasy lately. I was satisfied with the conclusion, but I had several problems with the third book.First of all, it is huge. I don't have a problem with big books, but this one made me wish that it were smaller. I grew tired of it as I was reading it.Secondly, the series is full of repetitions. I felt that half the pages of the series were descrip...

I don't put down a book or a series that I start. While the first two books did peak my interest quite a bit, I was suffering through almost all of the 1,104 pages found in this behemoth of a tale. Maybe I should have read it in two parts as it was released in its corporeal form and taken a break half way through. Instead, I went for the e-book version that doesn't suffer any publication problems when it comes to size.By the time I was about a third of the way through the book, I was already bur...

3.75 starsWow this was long. However, what really helps it is that there are multiple perspectives, and something is always happening — whether in plot, world-building, character development, or what not. I will admit that not every moment captured my attention, but all in all this was a lot more readable than I initially was expecting.
