Just finished re-reading, for the first time in about two decades, the whole four volumes of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, which comes in at over 3,000 pages.
It’s a classic old school fantasy and, while a little annoying because I was looking to clear shelf space and am definitely not throwing this out, it was just as good as I remember.
The author does takes his time, particularly early on, but for the most part this works perfectly well and can heighten the drama when the pace picks up. The world and history is interesting and interesting twists and characters, as well as original ideas, make this a highly engaging and enjoyable series.
NB at the time of writing, Amazon has a Kindle discount for the whole thing for just £2.99.
