Comments on: Stone of Farewell by Tad Williams http://superfastreader.com/stone-of-farewell-by-tad-williams.htm i read all the books Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:34:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Superfast Reader http://superfastreader.com/stone-of-farewell-by-tad-williams.htm/comment-page-1#comment-698 Superfast Reader Tue, 15 May 2007 16:40:19 +0000 http://superfastreader.com/stone-of-farewell-by-tad-williams.htm#comment-698 With the exception of the length, it has a YA feel to it. But it's extremely long--each book has been around 700 page, and book 3 is actually split into 20 800 page books. I would say it's suitable for anyone who liked The Belgariad and isn't afraid of a long read. Williams uses a lot of elements from other legends--the villain is known as the Storm King, and the dead king went by the name of Prester John. Book one had a mention of a fisher king, but that hasn't shown up in Book 2. Plus it follows the basic epic quest fantasy template borrowed from LOTR.

Do you know if it is juvenile or young-adult or adult fantasy book? Sounds like a fairy-tale retold to me. I didn’t see any mention of age-group in the Amazon page.
