Otherland: bloated, over-written, meandering, characters that I grew to dislike greatly (looking at you Renie).

(Long contented sigh) I love books with happy endings. Wow. Big big story. Hang in there - you will grow to love most of the characters. Wish this was a movie or series.

I wanted to like this series more. It was entertaining, but not the type of fantasy I enjoy. Everything got wrapped up in the end. I was no longer very interested when it did.

Really interesting and imaginative concept. I felt the ending was a little drawn out in the cheesy explain-every-single-loose-end style. Seemed to lose focus.

And with the final volume, Williams loses me. 300 pages of overwritten, tripish, hyper-explained and muddled plot through bizarre fantasy worlds that just seem to be there for the author’s enjoyment really pissed me off, and I’m throwing in the towel, feeling like I’ve wasted the last month of my life reading a story that I’ve not come to care about in any gorram way. I will not read anything else that he has written, and I cannot see how so many people find this volume of the series to be so uncritically good. This book was a joke—his writing style beat out of me every ounce and every iotus of care that I had for any of the characters, and since I can’t find a concise summary of the ending on the Internet, I’m just going to not care at all. I feel let down, pissed off, and REALLY glad that I only bought two of the books at full price. These books did NOT need to be this long. Tad Williams, you’re my least favorite fantasy author. Otherland sucks.
