Praise for the world of 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 Song of Ice and Fire
“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
"Building upon the revered history of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn,
Williams has outdone himself by penning a 700-plus page novel that
is virtually un-put-down-able.... Williams’ grand-scale
storytelling mastery is on full display here. Not just utterly
readable—an instant fantasy classic." —Kirkus Reviews
(starred)
“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.” —Cincinnati Post
