I really need to pick up Tad Williams, he's always whispered about by the cool kids in the corner but I never hear enough so I'm glad you're talking about it 😂
Lmao 🤣 that’s right!!! Lol the cool kids love Tad Williams 🤪. I hope you like it if you do get to it.
One of us! One of us!
These characters really do sound awesome, I haven’t read LotR yet, but I have read the first GoT book! Definitely will try it out!
Awesome!!!! I highly recommend MST and LoTR :)
I surprisingly liked this book so much. I didn’t mind the slow start. It helped me get into this world.
Thats great!!! I am getting ready to Start Part 1 of Green Angel Tower in a few day. I love how rich the series is in detail.
On to Stone of Farewell! Perfect timing for the discord buddy read my man.
Thanks!!! I just created the channels this morning in discord. I am excited.
Good description of the book, this is one of my favorites from this year.
#TeamBinbiniqegabenik
Thanks Hemvar!!! Love Binabik he is fantastic.
Going to the bookstore today to try and find these books, you have convinced me to read them.
Wow thank you Alicia! I hope you enjoy them. Easily one of my favorites series.
There is going to be an illustrated edition of Dragonbone Chair by Grim Oak Press coming out next year. Right now they are taking pre-orders of Tad's first book, Tailchaser's Song. I really wanted to pre-order it but can't right now. Hopefully I can afford Dragonbone Chair next year.
That is my hope as well. They wanted $150 for tailchasers song and I just couldn’t :(
My pre-order is in, plus the slipcase. Can. Not. Wait. Absolutely my favorite series of all time.
Awesome review! I have the first trilogy and then the next two but have yet to read. I’m hoping next year I can get into Mr. William’s world.
Thank you Mark! I love Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn!!! I have the first 2 in the next trilogy and will start that one when the final book comes out.
I own this book! I snagged it last month from the Recycle Center for 1 euro! I must read it soon. It sounds like my kind of book. 😊
That is awesome!!!! I hope you enjoy it!!!
Just wanted to say hi to the five star strumpet 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi!!!! Lol
This is one I haven't gotten to yet for some reason, but I anticipate pretty much loving it
It’s very classic and I really love it! I hope you do as well once you have read it.
I've been meaning to read David Gemmell and Tad Williams for quite a while now. I really like to dive in to older fantasy and see where some big authors today got their inspiration from.
I have read Legend by Gemmell and I loved it!!! Williams is a fantastic author :). As far a man I know during our readalong no one rated is below 3.5 stars and averaged 4 stars.
@@AndrewsWizardlyReads great to hear! I really enjoy John Gwynne (read everything he put out thus far). And Gemmell was a big inspiration for him. So i was instantly curious;)
@@FrancT- Awesome. I still need to read that newest John Gwynne book…. But I do have a review for Legend on the Channel as well :).
@@AndrewsWizardlyReads Legend...what a legend!
Ohhh, it does sound like A Song of Ice and Fire, but with a troll 😂
Lmao 🤣 I think it’s better!!!

Nice review! Adding to the never ending TBR.
Yessss!!! I am always happy to contribute to the TBR
I'm glad I'm not the only one on booktube doing impressions. Great intro 😂
:) lmao 🤣 I do what I can.
Great review d00d. I really wanted to join you guys on this buddy read but I got bigger fish to tackle first before I can devote myself to bigger buddy reads (SA,WoT and faithful and the fallen)
Thanks!!! It’s all good that’s a lot to get through. Def wouldn’t throw another epic fantasy into the mix :).
I really enjoyed this book. Great review.
That's Awesome. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!!!
This definitely sounds right up my alley. I’ll get to it eventually lol.
Awesome Chas!!! I hope you enjoy it once it makes its way through your TBR.
I really want to try this... i read the first chapter and his writing and the world remainded me Robin Hobb's writing and story and i really love her trilogy... i will probably read Tad Williams series soon.... Great review
Thank you Katrina!!! It is definitely a slower fantasy. Hobb is fantastic as well. Both are masters of their craft in my opinion. I hope you enjoy it!!!
Hi 👋 thank you for the review I’ve got the first two books!! Hope to read it soon.. 😊 I just had another DNF book ☹️☹️ so I started blood song by Anthony Ryan.... happy reading to you!! 📖📚🎬
DNFs Happen :) I am also starting blood song this month!!! Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it. Happy Reading to you.
@@AndrewsWizardlyReads I will definitely let u know how blood song book is going! Happy weekend reading to you!!
I look forward to reading it soon. Got most of the series 2nd hand with the cool Michael Whelan covers and the new UK edition of Dragonbone Chair. I like it when Fantasy Authors incorporate Celtic mythology ie the Sidhe.
Awesome!!!! I loved the Michael Whelan covers. I need to look into the UK covers as well. I have been looking for a new set :) I didn’t realize the Sidhe had their roots in Celtic Lore!
where you come up with this stuff, great review lol :)
Lol 😂 I have no idea!!! Thank you :)
Just finished this book. And it was soooooo sloowww! Too much traveling with Info dumps while they travel. A lot of the action is almost off page too. I am having a hard time continuing with the next books.
It really is a slowwwww book for sure. The next book is a bit better and the third has the best pacing. I can’t promise it will be a lot faster though
