Title: Why does it take this author so long to get going?...
Review: I love Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, without question this trilogy is one of the greatest of all fantasy fiction work in my mind.This book however, not so much. Its not that the book was bad, but Tad just takes way way to long to get going. When I pick up something like MS&T;, and its a 2500-3000 page epic, I am willing to grant some leeway in terms of how long it takes to really get the story going.. if it takes 300 or 400 pages, to set everything up, I'm willing to invest that.Sadly, it takes Tad that long in this story to get going too, I do not lie when I say up until about page 400 of this book (its about 600 pages or so if memory serves) I could have really given a crap less if the main protagonist had lived or died.That said the book did end relatively strong, nowhere near the calibre that Tad has shown he is capable of, but certainly not a bad book.
Is the review positive or negative?
