TSS falls somewhere between YA and middle-grade fantasy. So your liking TWC doesn't automatically mean you'd enjoy Williams' latest.
I'll be interested to hear your thoughts when you finally read it.
Man, there’s no need to do this. Our opinions on books are well documented as differing. I’m happy to accept that… -

We played this game before already Patrick. I loved THE WITCHWOOD CROWN. -

I waited till the 200-page mark before giving up. Tad Williams has always been a slow starter, so I wanted to give him a chance to truly get going. Sad to report that The Splintered Sun is not an adult fantasy novel. Not quite YA and not quite middle-grade, the book fits somewhat in between. You are no doubt aware of my views regarding YA works, so you can imagine how I feel about middle-grade ones.
Other than the Robin Hood-esque character, the main protagonists are children/teenagers with all that this implies. Which forces the author to hold your hand and spoon-feed you information about politics, history, etc. The target audience is definitely a younger crowd, what with everything being black and white. This sucks because, given my thoughts on his last Osten Ard series, I was looking forward to something new by Tad Williams. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.
Understandably, your mileage will vary. . .
Yeah, but you didn't like THE WITCHWOOD CROWN (or IIRC the rest of the LKOOA series)...so there's that. -

Absolutely great news. Sometimes justice still works. Hope he's put away for a long time. -

Boebert is down 2500+ votes and only 8% left to count. Hooboy, bets on what she does if she gets voted out?
