I really can't say any more good things about Tad Williams. He has to be one of the best fantasy writers that I've ever read. The only contemporary that he might have is Neil Gaiman. This book is 650 pages, but I barely noticed them flying by. His characters are rich in detail and all very, very different. You find yourself rooting for the underdog and despising the bad guys, as you should. Shadowplay is the second installment of the Shadowmarch Trilogy, and, as promised, leaves you hanging at end, because there is third book that will answer all questions. Of course. It's very frustrating, but yet I'll go buy the third book as soon as it comes out in paperback. Soon, I hope.
And so I wait. Again.
:P
