Good read

Gran final para la saga que inspiró a George RR Martín a escribir ASOIAF.

Good quality as listed.Delivery was within the date range provided but had not checked where it was coming from so had hoped to get it sooner.However I would use seller again if theirs was best price and quality as product was worth waiting for.

To Green Angel Tower part 2 is an emotional, thought provoking, and wonderfully satisfying ending to Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series. And what a journey it was! The only way I was disappointed was that it did finally end. Leaving these characters and the world behind is tough but they're bound to be stuck with me for years to come. It is really the characters that made this series so great.The second part of To Green Angel Tower starts off strong and doesn't let up. From the beginning we know where everyone will go, but it's the wild ride that takes them there that is the heart of the book. Simon and Miriamele's journey is filled with exciting and unexpected events, but it's watching their relationship grow that was the really amazing thing to see, along with all the bumps on the road along the way. In the south the conflict is started and we finally get to see Camaris in action. I was worried too much time would be spent there but it's well paced and wrapped up just in time. There's also a few shocking and upsetting deaths among the bigger secondary characters, whose personal sacrifices affect the story in major ways beyond the emotional impact of the loss.But some of the best moments in this book happen while the main characters are on their own, suffering -- of which the characters face some of the toughest and most horrifying and emotional trials yet. One character finds themselves on a wheel, and though it turns in place, we're taken to places and shown things that subtilely inch our own understanding towards the truth of the central mysteries of the plot -- all of which are eventually revealed and tied up masterfully. Not to mention there's a massive plot twist that is discovered that turns everything around and everyone on their heads.The ending itself is truly great. The final confrontation is so strange and magical, yet wonderfully original, and has several surprising characters show their heroic side. Once all is said and done, there's a massive reveal that has to do with one of the characters that changes their life forever. This just further goes to show how thoroughly Tad Williams planned this series in advance. Nothing feels made up on the spot or thrown in along the way that wasn't hinted at from the beginning.I also thought the afterword was a nice touch. It was a great way to tie up one final loose end and show that life goes on for the characters even after the story is over.Even though this is the second part of the massive third book, I wish it was longer still.5/5 for this book and the series as a whole.P.S. I really hope there will be more stories set in Osten Ard someday with the remaining characters. It'd be shame to leave them behind forever.

Dernier volet de la trilogie (ou quadrilogie), avec l'évolution des personnages (ils grandissent, tout simplement, ce ne sont plus des ados !). On est tenus en haleine jusqu'au bout.
