About this listen

Part one of the epic conclusion to Tad Williams' classic fantasy series Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, set in the fantasy world of Osten Ard.

In order for the Storm King to cement his power over Osten Ard, he must find and defeat the rebel forces massing against him. But the rebels, led by the exiled Prince Josua, have rallied at the Stone of Farewell and are ready to fight the Storm King with every power they can muster.

The key to their victory lies in finding the third sword of legend, Memory - but the sword has been lost for ages. Lost, that is, until Simon Snowlock realises that he knows exactly where the sword is and how to recover it. The only problem: an undead army, bolstered by powerful magic, lies between him and his destination.

It will take every ounce of Simon's courage and intelligence to journey to and then recover the great sword Memory and bring peace to Osten Ard. If Simon's quest is to have any hope, Josua must move against the Storm King himself - a journey that will take him across endless seas, through ancient forests and into the stronghold of the Storm King himself.

Great read

The quality of story and performance continues in this penultimate part - keen to hear the final book but sorry it has to end!

Another very enjoyable installment

I fell in love with these books when I first read them probably 20 years ago. A huge fantasy story in what I would call low fantasy setting. Characters are fragile and you worry for them and root for them. Listening to the audiobooks has been fantastic. the narrator does a brilliant job of delivering the story. I tell a great narrator when I forget it is being read and simply live the story and hear the characters whilst listening. Wincott achieves this with 5 stars.

Excellent Books Great Narration

I love this book, although I may have to listen to it twice in order to completely follow the story! Contains everything a good fantasy should have, keeping the listener glued to his/her listening device. As for narration, I cannot praise Andrew Wincott enough! The range of voices he narrates is incredible! He has to be No 1 in the charts for narration! Altogether a very enjoyable listen.

Compelling!

As with all things Tad Williams it is extremely detailed and you sometimes feel limke you want to explode with the urge to yell" get to the point!!!" But intheendit makezs for an amazing story. You want to know how it is going to continue and whether the winter king is going to be defeated before the main characters die or not.

Wonderfully enthralling

Another great book from Tad Williams and well performed. His use of language and descriptions are amazing

Great Continuation of Trilogy

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This 'trilogy in four parts' is superb, well written, gripping - and completely ripped-off by. George R R Martin. It preceded 'Game of Thrones' by four-five years, and GRRM has acknowledged he had read it. Just a couple of examples:? 1. Throne - only of dragon bones. 2. Mysterious evil undead creatures invading from the frozen north. 3. Dysfunctional royal family, etc etc. However, the women are strong feminist characters, not merely there to be stripped and raped, and although there's plenty of horror and nastiness there's also humour and beauty. The mystery to me is why it's out of print and - shame on you Audible!- volume 4 has still not been recorded and isn't due until May 2016!

A lost masterpiece

moves along a bit swifter than the first few books. enjoyable to listen to though wish the narrator had a few more variations in accents and left bigger gaps between changes in story location as sometimes i missed the gap and wondered what in earth was going on as the characters changed....

great continuation

Excellent narration that really brings the world of Osten Ard to life. The accents really helped my understanding of the regions and its peoples too, and the story itself is an absolute classic adventure tale that is vibrant and rich in lore, history and life. A must listen!

Fantastic
