WORTH CONSUMING!
I’m not sure how to comment on this – it’s hard to comment on the volume itself, given that it’s just the second half of the last third of a work, but still 800 pages long. In general, I felt like the book the same way I did about the rest of the series – when Tad Williams is on, his passages are very good. He can generate some very authentic-feeling dialogue and extremely tense conflicts. Unfortunately, those scenes are separated by too many longer pasages where, well, too little happens. The series should really have been edited down about 1200 or so pages to make it great instead of good.
