A review by sweetpeppah
City of Golden Shadow by Tad Williams

5.0

another epic story from Tad Williams, without the minor constraint of a sticking to a consistent world. Fascinating, dense with ideas. A valiant foray into concepts of digital reality, community, identity, and government. I loved the main characters, but a lot of the side characters don't get developed as much as in Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. He perhaps gets a bit carried away with the various digitally created worlds, and the plot twists and false leads. but the philosophy and over-arching plotline are brilliant and important. I still love this series and re-read it for the adventure, mystery and carrying on the tradition of political sci-fi/speculative writing.
