The Dragonbone Chair (Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, #1)
by
by
One of the seminal works of epic fantasy which, together with series by Robert Jordan and David Eddings, made the genre what it is today. Williams makes a virtue of starting small as we follow orphaned kitchen boy Simeon through his childhood in the castle of King Prester John. However, the king's death heralds an age of discord and Simeon finds himself drawn into valiant Prince Josua's rebellion against his increasingly despotic and magically deranged brother. The scope of the story expands with every succeeding chapter, escapes and battles abound as the conflict escalates, all expertly woven into a complex but satisfying whole by Williams' flawless prose and plotting. If you're a fantasy fan and you haven't read this, you're really not trying.

Haven't read Shadowmarch yet. Another one for the TBR pile.
Blood Song is the first in the series, so best to start there.
best,
Anthony

I got this because I had to be refunded for a book that had a glitch and had missing chapters. It was the last book in the swans war trilogy by Sean Russell. Amazing and underrated. At least I get to read this, though.
Can't wait to start this series and the sequel series:)
I haven't read this in an age! One for the 'must revisit' list.
