'Old cities and old stories were now part of his very life. It was strange how the future seemed tied inseparably to the past, so that both revolved through the present, like a great wheel.'

Following a brutal civil war, it is a time of darkness and dread for the realm of Osten Ard. The wild magic and terrifying minions of the undead Sithi ruler, Ineluki the Storm King, are spreading their seemingly undefeatable evil across the kingdom.

With the very land blighted by the power of Ineluki's wrath, the tattered remnants of a once-proud human army flee in search of a last sanctuary and rallying point - the Stone of Farewell, a place shrouded in mystery and ancient sorrow.

As Prince Josua seeks to rally his scattered forces, Simon and the surviving members of the League of the Scroll are desperately struggling to discover the truth behind an almost-forgotten legend, which will take them from the fallen citadels of man to the secret heartland of the Sithi - where near-immortals must at last decide whether to ally with the race of men in a final war against those of their own blood.

In Stone of Farewell, Tad Williams sets his characters against impossible odds and proves that the beloved, internationally-bestselling The Dragonbone Chair was no fluke, but one of the greatest fantasy novels of all time.

READERS LOVE STONE OF FAREWELL

Lovable characters, detailed world-building, and beautiful prose remain strong as the main highlights of this sequel for me.
The Dragonbone Chair ended on such a note that I just did.not.have.the.time to think about a decent review. I simply had to know what happened next.
Beautiful, slow burn fantasy. Tad Williams is a wordsmith!
Such a great second book in a series. I felt completely immersed in the story and invested in the characters.
It might be a slow unravelling, but it is a very satisfying one. The worldbuilding is tremendous. Our view of the world expands and its full of magnificent places, people and their stories. Especially the various subraces of the elvenkind are awesome.
I personally rank Osten Ard as one of my favourite fantasy world . . . I would recommend everyone to give this series a try.

A classical epic story that was narrated in a perfect way, I could just revert and listened to it again

Great recording of a compelling story

Welchen drei Worte würden für Sie Stone of Farewell treffend charakterisieren?

The book has chapters but the story jumps within the chapter from one place with its characters to another which I found sometimes confusing when listening. Despite the best efforts of the reader, I suddenly found I didn't know what was happening and had to jump back. It was worth it though.

Was war der interessanteste Aspekt der Handlung? Welcher der uninteressanteste?

For the most part the story was enjoyable. Once in a while there are long stories told, which were so long that it was a bit boring - I wondered if they were relevant and if I should be paying more attention because they were giving information pertinent to the plot later in the story. I still don't have an answer to that question. In the relatively long book that didn't happen too often!

Good story but hard to follow

Pacing-issues, it feels like this could have been a novella that was stretched long.

A rich imaginied world with a slow story
