majaingrid 's review for:

Stone of Farewell by Tad Williams
3.0

Not as good as the first book. It doesn't have much going for it, and felt too long for what happened in it. Could easily been a tad bit shorter. Blaming this on middle book syndrome. I struggled a little getting into it in the beginning and at the end I grew a little tired and just wanted it to be done. Hopefully next one(s, bc my edition are split in two parts) will be better.

I'm also not sure how I feel about Simon. He's still such a mooncalf at times. And for some reason the voice I hear in my head every time he speaks is Kevin's from This Is Us when Kevin and his siblings are kids (you know 10-12yo) and he has that complaining, whiny voice. Took me to the end of this book to realize that. Binabik and Qantaqa are super precious and I love them.
