Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:New York Times-bestselling Tad Williams?? landmark epic fantasy saga of Osten Ard begins an exciting new cycle!
 
??One of my favorite fantasy series.? ??George R. R. Martin ? ??Groundbreaking.? ??Patrick Rothfuss ? ??One of the great fantasy epics of all time.? ??Christopher Paolini
 
Tad Williams introduced readers to the incredible fantasy world of Osten Ard in his internationally bestselling series Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. The trilogy inspired a generation of modern fantasy writers, including George R.R. Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, and Christopher Paolini, and defined Tad Williams as one of the most important fantasy writers of our time.
 
BOOK TWO: STONE OF FAREWELL
 
It is a time of darkness, dread, and ultimate testing for the realm of Osten Ard, for 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.
 
An even 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 humans 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.
 
After the landmark Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy, the epic saga of Osten Ard continues with the brand-new novel, The Heart of What Was Lost. Then don??t miss the upcoming trilogy, The Last King of Osten Ard, beginning with The Witchwood Crown!
 
Praise for Osten Ard:
 
"Inspired me to write my own seven-book trilogy.... It??s one of my favorite fantasy series."
??George R. R. Martin, New York Times-bestselling author of A Game of Thrones
 
"Groundbreaking...changed how people thought of the genre, and paved the way for so much modern fantasy. Including mine."
??Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times-bestselling author of The Name of the Wind
 
"Tad Williams is a master storyteller, and the Osten Ard books are his masterpiece." ??Brandon Sanderson, New York Times-bestselling author of Mistborn

"Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is one of the great fantasy epics of all time."
??Christopher Paol

Incredible story telling. Looking forward to starting the last of the trilogy. ( )
  everettroberts | Oct 20, 2023 |
Voor mij is het weer 5 sterren. Eigenlijk vanwege hetzelfde als wat ik bij deel 1 schreef en ook bij de volgende delen zal schrijven. Het verhaal blijft ook na vele malen herlezen steengoed en de karakters blijven geloofwaardig en interessant. ( )

El infernal poder de Ineluki, el Rey de la Tormenta y jefe sitha no muerto, destruye el reino de Osten Ard y siembra un Mal contra el que no parece haber defensa. Sólo cuando el reino esté en posesión de las tres espadas de gran poder mágico, recobrará la paz, pero el camino a recorrer para reunirlas está sembrado de una maligna brujería muy difícil de superar. De este modo, los maltrechos restos del anteriormente glorioso ejército de Osten Ard huyen en búsqueda de un último refugio y punto de reunión: la Roca del Adiós, lugar envuelto en misterios y pesares.

Still want to punch most of the characters, but I think this book was all about personal fragility, and some general buttheadedness...
I love the audible version of this, very well read. Now to book 3.... ( )

Summary: Another solid volume of enjoyable fantasy fair. Nothing too bad and occassionally really good bits. But it's only half way through the story and I'm not sure I have another 1600 pages in me.

Standout feature: The scene where something is scratching at the door ...

Things I liked:

Atmospheric writing the scene where Rachel is hearing something scratching at the door but is afraid to open it. Makes me think Mr Williams is very good at doing little bits of atmospheric writing (reminds me of the bit in book one where simon is heading into the dungeons of hayholt).

Alien race written well: In this book I think he did some great work in illustrating the very different outlook the Sithi have one the world and differentiating one set of humanoids from another. This is often a challenge in the overly cliched fantasy genre so well done on that.

Things I think could have been improved:

Villains seem to do quite a bit of bwhahahhaha exposition. 'Your all doomed anyway so I'll tell you 15% of my evil plan' - e.g. 'Even now in the south one of your closest allies has been killed'. Seems a bit clumsy to me.

Story/plot ratio: I've read two fairly large books now and so far: i) I know the difference between the various characters; ii) I get the impression something is definately 'rotten in the state of denmark'. But substantially it feels like not a lot of the plot has been revealed and not a lot has really happened. It still feels very much like the pieces are being setup before the game. The reason this is a problem is that I'm not sure if I have another two books in me so the setup may have cost me the resolution.

. . . Of all the many changing things

In dreary dancying past us whirled,

To the cracked tune that Chronos sings,

Words alone are certain good.

Where are now the warring kings,

Word be-mockers?—By the Rood,

Where are not the warring kings?

An idle word is now their glory,

By the stammering scholboy said,

Reading some entangled story:

The kings of the old time are dead;

The wandering earth herself may be

Only a sudden flaming word,

In clanging space a moment heard,

Troubling the endless reverie.
 

—William Butler Yeats
  (from The Song of the Happy Shepherd)

This series is dedicated to my mother, Barbara Jean Evans, who taught to me a deep affection for Tad Hall, the Hundred Aker Woods, the Shire, and many other hidden places and countries beyond the fields we know. She also induced in me a lifelong desire to make my own discoveries, and to share them with others. I wish to share these books. with her.

Even in the cave, where the crackling fire sent gray fingers of smoke up to the hole in the stony roof, and red light played across the wall carvings of twining serpents and tusked, staring-eyed beasts, the cold still gnawed at Simon's bones.
