City of Golden Shadow by Tad Williams

4.0

I really liked most of this book! Writing style was easy to read and despite the length and relatively slow pacing I was never bored. Interesting characters and concepts. The last 100 pages fell apart a bit for me. The nature of the writing made it seem like we were receiving exposition/explanation of the book’s main mysteries but it didn’t fully make sense to me. I much preferred the slow unveiling of information previously used in the book. Would’ve been ok with less questions answered with the promise that I’d find out more in the rest of the series. Excited to see where the plot goes and learn more about this world. A little worried by Dread’s “twist” that it might have a fantastical element but hoping that has a sci fi explanation later on.
