Synopsis

Now the family has been shattered. King Olin Eddon is a prisoner in a faraway land. Olin's heir Kendrick is dead — slain by treachery and dark, bloody magic — and Kendrick's younger brother and sister have barely escaped several attempts on their own lives. With their father and brother taken from them, the royal twins Barrick and Briony have done their best to hold the kingdom together. Old magics are stirring beneath the ancient castle and behind the Shadowline, and the machinations of gods, fairies, and mortals threaten to spread devastation across the entire world. Even if Barrick and Briony survive learning the astonishing truths at the heart of their own family and of Southmarch itself, they must still find a way to do the impossible: they must reclaim their kingdom and rescue their home and people from a multitude of powerful enemies — from traitors, tyrants, a god-king, and even the angry gods themselves.

One shouldn't go into a Tad Williams epic fantasy romp expecting nonstop action or grimdark developments or a cookie-cutter plot. Indeed, if you decide to dive into his works, you can expect a very awesome and deeply fleshed-out worldbuilding with enough history to choke a horse. This isn't a bad th......more

Goodreads review by Cynnamon on August 12, 2020

Volume 2 of the Shadowmarch series is in every aspect as good as the first volume. The great war extends and involves more an more parties and also more and more violence and cruelty. Our main characters have all to face life-threatening, dangerous and painful situations. And we as the readers get slow......more

Goodreads review by Sotiris on January 14, 2019

In the second part of this quadrology we are opened up to new horizons. The protagonists of our story are scattered in various kingdoms of people and ... other creatures, even in places where the rules do not apply and the gods can touch the world. This latter one is a big concern to us throughout t......more

Goodreads review by Libros Prestados on May 16, 2019

Tad Williams sigue siendo incapaz de ser sintético (como si cobrara por palabras), sigue manteniendo un ritmo muy lento hasta las 100 últimas páginas (cuando hay que acelerar para el "cliffhanger" de rigor), sigue siendo demasiado esotérico y convirtiendo la trama en algo más obtuso de lo preferible......more
