![]() ![]() Thanks never would have read it if you didn't give it to me. Tad Williams should donate his brain to science. Linda: hope so Linda: Done with Otherland. However, I think the ending will surprise you. Now do I take a break or finish the series. I have got a stack of about 15 to read behind this series. the traveling from world to world is getting slo.w ,wish it would move just a bit faster. Linda: OMG hope I can make it thru lol Linda: I just started the 3rd otherland book. It keeps drawing you along, but you won't really get it until the forth book. Linda: Hi T I'm halfway thru the 1st otherland book and I still have no clue to whats going on here lol Me: The first one doesn't start to come together until about 3/4 of the way through (and even then you'll be puzzled). She kept me up to date on Facebook as she read through it. ![]() #TAD WILLIAMS OTHERLAND SERIES SERIES#Linda (my sis-in-law) had already read the Dragonbone series and started reading the Otherland series a few weeks ago. Admittedly, the first book is always the most frustrating because he always uses that one to open up all of the holes in his story and he scatters loose ends freely in the wind. I've read two of his series thus far (The Dragonbone series, and Otherland) and am currently working on the third (Shadowmarch) and I'm always pleasantly surprised when I get to the end. #TAD WILLIAMS OTHERLAND SERIES FULL#In fact, he takes his sweet time telling the story, typically one that is so inter-meshed with plot twists that you never really get the full picture until the climax of the story. In today's world of instant gratification, he has never taken a short-cut on imagery in order to get the story completed. The first time you read him, you can easily get overwhelmed by the amount of imagery he creates outside of the storyline. For those of you who don't know, Tad is a very verbose writer and takes great pains to paint his world in your mind. I still have the book! At our last family get together I loaned her my Otherland collection from Tad Williams. She loaned me "Good Omens" by Terry Prachet and Neil Gaiman and started my love of all things Neil about 6 years ago. We see each other once a year and typically we exchange books at that time. I've mentioned here before that my sister in law and I share similar tastes in books. ![]()
