A review by erikars
River of Blue Fire by Tad Williams

This book, volume two of the Otherland series, is set almost exclusively in the Otherland network. It would probably be a great book for someone who likes to read descriptions about different worlds where characters have interesting, but largely non-plot-moving or character-developing adventures, and I did enjoy it. However, I eventually started to get a little tired of it (the book is 675 pages). If you divide fiction into the four rough categories of character developing, plot developing, idea developing, and place developing I tend to prefer them in that order. That said, the end of the book started getting good; there was character development and plot!
