Review Roundup

Stone of Farewell by Tad Williams earns commendations for its imaginative world-building, intricate plotting, and character development. However, some readers feel the pacing is uneven, with parts of the story dragging. Overall, it’s a strong sequel that continues to expand the richly detailed universe introduced in The Dragonbone Chair.
