Siege: To Green Angel Tower, Part 1 by Tad Williams
4.0
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn book 3 (PART 1) review!
I read this series with a friend, though we quickly discovered my book 3 is split into 2 books. I'll be reviewing them separately though I did read them right after the other as though they're a single novel.
Boy was this a wild ride! Where book 2 felt like an intermediary between books 1 & 3, book 3 hits the ground running. Major plot elements come to fruition within this book and even knowing they were going to happen, Tad Williams does a fantastic job of making them nerve wracking.
I know me and Sam have probably harped on this a lot, but the way William's writes characters is one of the highlight of the series for me. Every character feels so distinct both in their actions and the way they see/react to the world. Reading the interplay between all of these characters makes for some highly emotional scenes, which in turn make major events all the scarier as the author does not shy away from having character die.
While this book IS a big step up from book 2, I still found the pacing a bit lacking in places and certain storylines didn't come together as smoothly as I would have hoped. But, overall, I really loved this continuation of the series.
