Title: A Diificult Truth To Acknowledge
Review: I absolutely loved Tad Williams' Memory,Sorrow,and Thorn series. When his sci-fi series came out, I eagerly read the first novel, and regretfully concluded that Williams' sci-fi style was not to my taste. When War of the Flowers came out, I bought and read it as well. More mediocrity. Finally, Shadowmarch was released. Surely, when allowed to write in the sub-genre which originally catapulted him to fame, he would once again release a polished and engaging tale. I have never been more wrong. Williams makes the mistake of thinking that the more main characters there are, the better. The result is a book with characters that you never know well enough to actually like. I have concluded, reluctantly, than Williams is something of a hack. If you could buy a "Write-By-Numbers" Kit, this book would be the result.
