To Green Angel Tower (Osten Ard)

This book, no this series, was probably the best series I've ever read. Every chapter was action filled and Tad Williams did a great job writing! There is a saying: you know you've read a great book when you feel a little like you've lost a friend. This book and series definitely fits it! I recommend this book to anyone!!!

tad wiliams is an amazing author with a talent for creating likable characters and immersive stories. this is the first part of the last book in the memory, sorrow and thorn series and it was an amazing read. you wont be dissapointed.

This was a fantastic conclusion to an awesome series. Tad Williams did a great job of character development and world-building throughout and for anyone who has read the first two books, this one is a must-read.

The book itself is wonderful, and incredibly well-written. A great conclusion to the trilogy. Unfortunately, however, the e-book version is riddled with typos. Not the end of the world, but very distracting.

Clearly a great admirer of JRR Tolkien, Williams has labored mightily to reinvent that which has already been brought to more vivid life. I kept with it through dogged persistence, but mostly wondered why I was doing so. The writing style is not bad (although I got pretty tired of "scintillant" after a while) but many of the characters' whiny philosophizings started to really get on my nerves. Read it at the library and save your money to buy LOTR; the original and still the greatest.

One thing that kind of irks me about this trilogy is it is really a four part book series. The first two books are fine; then you come to this one. If you notice at the bottom of the title, it says Part 1. Yes, there is a part two, and it is actually longer than this book. Talk about contrived, this book series is a beautiful example of people running off to various places with much ado about nothing (with apologies to Shakespeare). The author has a number of characters running around chasing down various things, much of which is useless in the context of the main plot. Simon, the main character, shares a lot of time with other characters, the princess, and Prince Joshua, amongst others. I'm afraid shallow is the main word that comes to my mind when I think of this series.

Exciting and very well-written series, but the kindle version doesn't come with the part 2! It looks like I have to buy the paperback version to finish the series. I see a lot of reviewers saying they only got part 2 and not 1. What is going on Kindle????
