Painfully good!, 9 Jun 2005
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!

Excellent book, full of battles and adventures!, 15 Dec 2000
By A Customer
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!

Why can't there be 6 Stars set side for this book?, 29 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: To Green Angel Tower Part 1 (Memory, Sorrow, & Thorn 3) (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!
