At last….

Finally managed to get through the 4,000ish pages of this rather expansive story. I have to say that it’s a relief to finally be at the end but I ‘m pleased I got there. The last few chapters are by far the best and it would have been a shame to miss them by stopping the story short. Although the idea was absolutely excellent, it was sometimes difficult to keep pushing my way through the pages as it seemed very repetitive and drawn out. The volume of information and seperate storylines was mind boggling and very well controlled but I felt it could been a little more concise… perhaps some of the longer descriptions could have been shortened to keep the momentum up. Knowing what I know now, I would still read these books… but I dont think I will read them again as it is possible to do with some!

It does have to be said that Tad Williams has created what can only be described as an epic adventure, so if you like the idea of rich, powerful characters trying to live forever at the expense of the pain and suffering of children… read the books! In fact, if you like the idea of a small band of heroes coming along and saving, the world, the children and more besides, you should read the books to! It certainly caters for all tastes and is guaranteed to provide you with all the emotions of the spectrum!
