For example, at one point he said "The dust lay as thick as icing sugar." That doesn't even make sense-who said icing sugar is thick? It's just light and powdery. I felt that some sentences and phrases just sounded awkward. It could have benefitted from a couple more rereads on his part, but to his credit each book is extremely long and I'm sure he had deadlines. Namely, the skeleton of the plot is a very classic fantasy motif, the quest on which a group of bedraggled people who have been thrown together must embark to save the world.įor starters I should say that I really liked the series, although I wouldn't say it was perfect-it seemed to me that Williams was in a bit of rush to finish it.
I probably should have put it on the SF board but I'm more comfortable here, and besides I believe the series contains many fantasy elements as well. I just finished Tad Williams' Otherland series tonight and I was wondering if anyone wanted to discuss it with me.
