Shadowmarch: Shadowmarch: Volume I Audiobook

" I'm going to wait on a review until I finish book 3. "

" great character development....great story threads "

" I am really enjoying this so far "

" I like Tad Williams a lot. This wasn't as complex or creative as I thought the Otherland series was, but it was satisfying in a Tad Williams way. "

" I give it more of a 3.5 rating, but have to give a BOOOOO to the publisher for messing up the books available for Kindle. Book 2 is missing, with the other books available. "

" Williams finally finished this series so I can go ahead and read it! I enjoyed this book. Williams did an excellent job with his world creation especially the mysterious Qar. I loved reading about Chert and Vansen, who are the most sympathetic characters in the book. "

" I've read a previous series by this author and really enjoyed it. Williams books tend to be a little heavy and there are a few differnet plot lines going through out this book. But I have read through it fairly quickly and can't wait to read the next in the series. "

" Not the best ever fantasy series. Won't be reading the rest of it. "

" Very, very slow to get moving. This is a world building book. Mr Williams is setting up the characters and the world for us. If this was a standalone book, I would probably hate it, but I understand it's purpose and the payoff looks to be worth it. "

" An excellent complex fantasy story - one of his best series. Many different plot lines and characters, but he has the knack of always keeping you aware of what's happening - never got lost or confused. Great read! "

" Complex plot with some decent characterization and explorations of gender; it's a decent novel, and quite enjoyable. Not superb, but worth a read. "

" It starts slow, so those of you with A.D.D. should skip it. the last 3rd of the book really picks up "

" Yup, about 2 years behind on this one, but your typical Tad Williams fantasy epic: somewhat standard and cliched, but still keeps you interested. Too bad it takes him 10 years to finish a series. "

" Not as good as Williams' Dragonbone Chair Trilogy, in my opinion. I haven't read that in years, though. "

" Pretty good. Not up to his standards, but looking forward to the next one. "

" A disappointing end to an otherwise excellent series. this book just felt like it went on 200 pages further than necessary. "

" It was ok - i really love Tad Williams as an author and he takes you on a great journey. I felt volume 4 really did not close out the series and was more about cashing in on the franchise. "

" I'm not big on endings. There always feels like there's more to be told. A great story altogether though and nicely wrapped up for the most part. Wishin there was more, though. That Flint could have a series all his own, I'm thinking. "

" I love this series. It's filled with characters that are interesting and I care about what happens to them. I'm highly invested in seeing them come through their struggles to a happy ending. "

" I found the ending of this series just a tad too predictable, but worth the trip. There was one significant twist near the ending that I didn't see coming, where Williams played quite nicely with the readers expectation of how epic fantasy is supposed to work to set them up for a nice reveal. "

" Another no-objectivity book in a no-objectivity series, as in I have no way to objectively assess them - they just hit all the right buttons.I didn't like them as much as Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, but otherwise gobbled them up happily. "

" meh! (sorry Tad!) too many descriptions of battle, too many poorly delineated characters, too little of the witty repartee that I have to to expect of this author. It's sad when I am glad to be finished with a series, rather than wanting more. Bring back Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn! "

" The Shadowmarch series ends strongly with the loose ends being tied up. It is a good story, easy to read, albeit slightly drawn out. The characters go through their evolution's as expected, and almost as predicted from book 1. "

" A satisfying ending to a good series. In all, I really loved the complex world Williams created, especially the fairy type creatures and the mythology. I still liked the 3rd book the best, but I was not let down by this and blew through it a few days after getting it for Christmas... "
