How it is possible for Tad Williams to have written so many books is a riddle to me, since those I have read are masterpieces! Usually, writers seem to strike gold once only.
The advancing on the Green Angel Tower is slow, deliberate and very dangerous and it's very very exciting.
I often forgot myself and was lost for hours in the book, both wanting to read more and not wanting it to end.
I have read a good many series of different kinds, but never was I more eager to get hold of the sequel!

To Green Angel Tower: Siege is the third volume in Memory, Sorrow and Thorn (started with The Dragonbone Chair and The Stone of Farewell, and ending with To Green Angel Tower: Storm).
After meeting with Josua's party and exiles from the plains on Sesuad'ra, the Stone of Farewell, Simon is knighted by the prince for having recovered the legendary sword Thorn. But soon they learn that Josua's brother, the High-King Elias, has sent an army led by Duke Fengbald.
They have to prepare for a desperate war. With a makeshift army of exiles, and even with the unexpected help from the trolls, they know they'll be greatlty outnumbered.
To the south, Princess Miriamele, pretending she's daughter of a minor nobleman, has unwillingly given in to Lord Apsitis. He soon tells her he knows her true identity and plans to marry her, for political purposes. She'll have to escape.
In this book, Tad Williams manages to keep us reading avidly without revealing too much of the final plot, digging deeper into each character's personality, making them seem so real. I just can't wait to read the next and last one!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
When I first started the series, I was slightly bored with it, but a lot of the more enticing novel series are like that....I recieved "The Dragonbone Chair" as a gift for my 16th birthday and as soon as I finished it, I read it again. I did the same after buying "Stone of Farewell" and "To Green Angel Tower". Tad Williams has a way with words that ranks him as one of the greatest Fantasy writers of all time. Thank you Tad!

Not bad
Was a bit worn but worth it, sadly the wrong size to go with the other paperbacks but never the less a bargain, it took slightly longer to arrive hence the three stars.

A magnificent conclusion to a magnificent story
Alas! So the story does have to end! But oh, does it end beautifully! To Green Angel Tower (divided in 2 parts, Siege and Storm) is quite simply magnificent. Read more

Good Story with some weaknesses
The Story is very interesting, but the characters are the greatest strength of the author. They are the most vivid, complex and realistic personalities you can find. Read more

Interesting, and worth a slow read
This series is very well written, and more character driven than any other series that I have read in recent history (including the tedious Wheel of Time). Read more

BORING...

For the daydreamers but still pretty good
I read this book and I had absolutely no criticism of it. Now reading other people's comments I realise that you either love or hate this book. Read more
