Best of all, however, are Williams's well-drawn sympathetic characters ...' Publishers Weekly --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Farewell boredom!, 1 July 2003
This review is from: Stone of Farewell (Memory, Sorrow & Thorn) (Paperback)
It is the second in a epic of four books, but there is a review at the front of the book giving an overview of the past novel. This book though was amazing to read, Tad Williams is a great writer and you lose time as he sends you through the travels of the characters. The prince who should be a king, commanding a hill, helping those in need, while his brother, the king, gets into even more trouble. Simon stays for a while in another world (almost). Trouble brews all around. It is a gripping tale and one that will leave you pleading for the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Seminal sword and sorcery, 29 Mar 2004
By A Customer
The second book in the trilogy, the quest has now built up to breathtaking levels of unsuperable doom! This should be a standard text for would-be fantasy authors. It has everything, magic swords, dragons etc.etc., beautifully realised in 'a world gone mad' (tho' no elephants yet!). The pivotal character, Simon, starts off in the kitchens, as is only right, proper and traditional in these sagas but is soon caught up in a world threatening conspiracy which aims to ensure the return of the evil (and technically dead) Storm King, a vengeful, disembodied elf-prince. Williams' deft touch with ongoing cataclysm hurtles you through interesting quantities of weather and slaughter without letting the pace drop and spits you out breathless and hungry for the next instalment. The fact that this trilogy is barely portable is an advantage in my view, as it's so difficult to find books that last longer than a snack but don't get bogged down in 'on the three hundredth day of our quest we saw lots more grass and some mountains'. If this tale has a fault it is only that, in common with his other yarns, it takes a little while to warm up at the beginning, once its feet are under it, the actions never lets up. A superior example of its genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars The masterpiece evolving!, 3 April 2003
By B. Jonsson "Literate Warlock" (falun, dalarna sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Stone of Farewell (Memory, Sorrow & Thorn) (Paperback)
The second part of this fantasy masterpiece never stops to surprise you!
It gives many many new acquaintances, a deeper plot than most stories can offer and so many ethnic and religious details, which give the story a deeper plausibility than most contemporary fantasy novels.

Williams' work is rapidly overtaking many other read fantasy series and climbing ever upwards on my top ten.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting!
This is the second book of the four and better than the first (The Dragonbone Chair). Like the first however the first 400 pages are dull, dull, dull. Read more
