I picked up
The Dragonbone Chair
when I was a kid without knowing anything about Tad Williams (and I still don't). I liked the series, but it didn't stick in my memory. In college there I had a vague recollection of liking it but could not
even remember who wrote it or if I was mixing it up in my mind with other series. I dug through my bookshelf and found it for a re-read, and was pleasantly surprised. There isn't much groundbreaking here, but it's
fun and well written. I can't say the same about his Otherland series, which started off strong, went downhill, and had an atrocious ending. That series was so bad I haven't touched Tad Williams since. The Green
Angel Tower series was a good solid story though, and I recommend it.
