Synopsis

For generations the misty Shadowline has marked the boundary between the lands of men and the lost northern lands that are the lair of their inhuman enemies, the ageless Qar. But now that boundary line is moving outward, threatening to engulf the northernmost land in which humans still live — the kingdom of Southmarch. For centuries, the Eddon family has ruled in ancient, forbidding Southmarch Castle, guarding the border against the Qar's return, but now this powerful royal line has been dealt a devastating blow. The monarch, King Olin, is being held captive in a distant land, and it falls to his inexperienced heirs to lead their people in a time of growing danger and dread. It is on the two youngest Eddons that the heaviest burdens fall. The twins Barrick and Briony, who in such evil times have only each other, may lose even that bond as darkness closes over them. As the Qar’s power reaches out across their land, will Southmarch Castle, the only home they’ve ever known, become in fact what it has long been called — Shadowmarch?

Goodreads review by Bradley on March 07, 2018

It has been way too many years since I picked up a Tad Williams fantasy. I read the books surrounding the Dragonbone Chair back when they came out and I was extremely impressed by the writing quality and character, the slow burn and devoted character building, the inexorable finality of the grand ex......more

Goodreads review by Cynnamon on July 10, 2020

This is volume 1 of Tad William’s outstanding Shadowmarch series. I was a great fan of the Dragonbone Chair and also of Otherland, but with this series Williams takes it to a new level. He definitely has developed since. As usual with Tad Williams we have extensive worldbuilding and a huge array of ch......more

Goodreads review by Libros Prestados on September 17, 2018

Aquí la vídeoreseña: [URL not allowed] Tad Williams lo ha vuelto a hacer. Su fantasía no es nada rompedora, podría decir lo mismo con muchas menos palabras, su ritmo es muy lento, no hay nada de humor, la mitad de los personajes de este libro parecen clones de otros de "Añoranza......more
