Welcome to this week’s Reading Roundup. I have some good news…

I have finally finished my book!!!!

Yes, I managed to carve out some quiet time to read and I managed to concentrate enough to get to the end of this enormous book. Here it is…

The book was To Green Angel Tower by Tad Williams (#03 Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn). At over 1000 pages this was such a long read, but I am so pleased that I decided to tackle it. This is the blurb…

“In order for the Storm King can cement his power over Osten Ard, he must find and defeat the rebel forces massing against him. But the rebels, led by the exiled Prince Josua, have rallied at the Stone of Farewell and are ready to fight the Storm King with every power they can muster. The key to their victory lies in finding the third sword of legend, Memory – but the sword has been lost for ages.Lost, that is, until Simon Snowlock realises that he knows exactly where the sword is and how to recover it. The only an undead army, bolstered by powerful magic, lies between him and his destination. It will take every ounce of Simon’s courage and intelligence to journey to and then recover the great sword Memory and bring peace to Osten Ard. If Simon’s quest is to have any hope, Josua must move against the Storm King himself – a journey that will take him across endless seas, through ancient forests and into the stronghold of the Storm King himself.TO GREEN ANGEL TOWER is the epic final volume in Tad Williams’ breathtaking, beloved series Memory, Sorrow and Thorn.”

Here is my response on the Goodreads website…

To Green Angel Tower by Tad Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodness! This was an amazing and complex book with literally armies of characters and incredible world building. The final book in the trilogy brought everything to a satisfying conclusion after journeys, the forging of friendships, amazing characters and exciting adventures.

My only complaint is that it was far too long! A good editor should have condensed some of the writing down and could have done this without losing the essence of the story. So, I am glad that I read the book, but also rather relieved that I have finally finished it!

This trilogy was certainly well worth the effort it took me to read the whole thing, but I am now exhausted! My poor brain is struggling with so many issues: the house move, my health, my family. Anyway, I have decided to return to comfort reading again. I am now rereading The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay and after that will read his most recently published two or three books again before his new work arrives in May.

Happy Reading everyone!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
