Praise for Tad Williams: "Inspired me to write my own seven-book trilogy.... It's one of my favorite fantasy series ." --George R. R. Martin, New York Times -bestselling author of A Game of Thrones " Groundbreaking .... Changed how people thought of the genre, and paved the way for so much modern fantasy. Including mine." --Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times -bestselling author of The Name of the Wind "Tad Williams is a master storyteller, and the Osten Ard books are his masterpiece.
