Empire of Grass by Tad Williams
4.0
Another excellent Osten Ard novel from Tad Williams. I hesitate to write to much for fear of spoiling anything, as this is the middle book of a planned trilogy. Williams is masterful at laying out the threads in Book 1, and by the close of Book 2 we’re left with a tapestry—one that is incomplete, to be sure—but the form of Williams’ tale has definitely taken shape.
I enjoyed some parts more than others, as one does with any story. The court intrigue in Nabban was the highlight, with both Viyeki’s and Eolair’s arcs coming in at close seconds.
The last scene of Empire of Grass is, in my opinion, masterful. It is rare that a book ends on a cliffhanger for a CHARACTER as opposed to the reader, and I enjoyed it immensely.
