Title: A wonderfully fun read
Review: I must say, I was a little skeptical coming into this one. I wasn't sure if it could be written in such a way that could captivate your interest for 675 pages. But, Tad Williams has done it again.He uses so much folk lore that you are drawn into the story, allowed to live and breathe with the characters. At times, I admit, Theo Vilmos seemed stilted as his conversations were leading and forced, but this doesn't happen much.The colors that are evoked when your imagination takes over is fun, not to mention the playfulness of the whole novel despite having a somewhat darker undertone to it. Combine the two with Williams' writing and you are left with a great tale with some surprising results.
