'ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FANTASY SERIES' GEORGE R. R. MARTIN
'GROUND-BREAKING' PATRICK ROTHFUSS
'TAD WILLIAMS IS A MASTER STORYTELLER' BRANDON SANDERSON
'AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY LIBRARY' CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI
'Old cities and old stories were now part of his very life. It was strange how the future seemed tied inseparably to the past, so that both revolved through the present, like a great wheel.'
Following a brutal civil war, it is a time of darkness and dread for the realm of Osten Ard. The wild magic and terrifying minions of the undead Sithi ruler, Ineluki the Storm King, are spreading their seemingly undefeatable evil across the kingdom.
With the very land blighted by the power of Ineluki's wrath, the tattered remnants of a once-proud human army flee in search of a last sanctuary and rallying point - the Stone of Farewell, a place shrouded in mystery and ancient sorrow.
As Prince Josua seeks to rally his scattered forces, Simon and the surviving members of the League of the Scroll are desperately struggling to discover the truth behind an almost-forgotten legend, which will take them from the fallen citadels of man to the secret heartland of the Sithi - where near-immortals must at last decide whether to ally with the race of men in a final war against those of their own blood.
In Stone of Farewell, Tad Williams sets his characters against impossible odds and proves that the beloved, internationally-bestselling The Dragonbone Chair was no fluke, but one of the greatest fantasy novels of all time.
READERS LOVE STONE OF FAREWELL
Lovable characters, detailed world-building, and beautiful prose remain strong as the main highlights of this sequel for me.
The Dragonbone Chair ended on such a note that I just did.not.have.the.time to think about a decent review. I simply had to know what happened next.
Beautiful, slow burn fantasy. Tad Williams is a wordsmith!
Such a great second book in a series. I felt completely immersed in the story and invested in the characters.
It might be a slow unravelling, but it is a very satisfying one. The worldbuilding is tremendous. Our view of the world expands and its full of magnificent places, people and their stories. Especially the various subraces of the elvenkind are awesome.
I personally rank Osten Ard as one of my favourite fantasy world . . . I would recommend everyone to give this series a try.
