Book SynopsisTrade ReviewPraise 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. Williams’ return to Osten Ard is every bit as
compelling, deep, and fully-rendered as the first trilogy, and he continues to write with the experience and polish of an author at the top of his game." —Brandon Sanderson,
New York Times-bestselling author of
Mistborn“
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is one of the
great fantasy epics of all time.” —Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of
Eragon “
Readers who delight in losing themselves in long complex tales of epic fantasy will be in their element here, and there is the promise of much more to come in future volumes.” —
Locus “Panoramic, vigorous, often moving.... Williams adroitly weaves together the tales...heralding a suitably
epic and glorious conclusion.” —
Publishers Weekly “Highly Recommended. [Williams] draws on many mythologies for the background of his fantasy epic...story spiced with
political intrigue and strong appealing heroes.” —
Library Journal “
A grand fantasy on a scale approaching Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.” —
