This was easily one of my slowest reads of the year. Not only was it a real slow burn, but it also forced me to take a few extended breaks along the way. >

That’s not to say it’s a bad book—quite the opposite. Stone of Farewell is classic "middle-book" material, and I knew what I was getting into beforehand. Certain plot points have to be moved into place, setups for the finale need to be built... you know how it goes. Plus, Tad Williams’ writing is marvelous; the man is extraordinarily talented. >

A few parts really stood out. A ton happens—that’s a fact—but certain events were massive enough to practically reset the whole world! I really liked the character arcs for Josua and Vorzheva (which was tough to get through at first because Josua is so pigheaded, but improves dramatically by the end) as well as Simon and Aditu. >

Truth be told, Simon’s storyline with Aditu is burned into my brain and will stay with me for years to come. >
