Shadowrise
Tad Williams
DAW
Okay ... so non-hardcore fantasy fans can stop reading now. This entry is only for the geeks.
OMG -- Williams has done it again. Shadowrise is the third installment in what was supposed to have been the Shadowmarch trilogy. Like Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, however, dude has more plot than pages and the final book as been split into two. I'm not complaining and will happily add the fourth and final novel to my Christmas list.
Back to Shadowrise -- this book has it all. Magic, heroes, battles, swords, heroines, gods, poets, dwarves and lots and lots of mayhem. I think Williams might now be in the lead for my favourite fantasy write of all time. Yes -- it was that good. Five dashing princes out of five.
