Why you should read Memory, Sorrow and Thorn?
Why you should read it: It’s a quest fantasy, it’s the complex political turmoil of today, it’s both. The trilogy was a huge turning point in the genre, firmly rooted in the quest fantasy of The Lord of the Rings but breaking new ground by adding political turmoil (some diplomacy, civil war) to the mix.
Is Memory, Sorrow and Thorn dark?
Many would say that Memory, Sorrow and Thorn is a darker, more modern approach to the same type of story Tolkien was telling in Lord of the Rings. The Sithi are long-lived and can be seen as a commentary on the ancient race of elves as depicted in The Lord of the Rings.
Is there romance in the Dragonbone chair?
I’ll echo The Dragonbone Chair, book 1 of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. It has multiple POV characters, but mainly focuses on Simon, and there’s a romance between him and Princess Miriamele that develops through the series.
Did George RR Martin copy Tad Williams?
It is no secret that George R. R. Martin drew inspiration for his A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels from the best-selling Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series by Tad Williams. I read Tad and was impressed by him, but the imitators that followed — well, fantasy got a bad rep for being very formulaic and ritual.
How does memory Sorrow and Thorn end?
This perfectly mirrors MS, in which Marya kills the supernatural Storm King, leader of the northern creatures, by plunging a sharp object into his chest. In both series, the single blow is enough to destroy the magicks of the Storm/Night King entirely.
