Sometimes Simon got a little bit whiny but he’s a teenager and teenagers are unbelievably annoying at times so I don’t suppose he was acting any different from any other teenager. No, I will never stop making digs at that book. The upside of this is that The world is incredibly detailed and although it takes a long time for Williams to say what he is trying to say he is still telling his story unlike The Priory of the Orange Tree, for example. It is almost old fashioned in its story telling, long and almost overly descriptive. I can see why this series might not be for everyone. The last half of Storm was very exciting to read and pulled the whole trilogy together into a conclusion that was satisfying on the whole. I’m not sure if that’s because it was just so slow going at that particular point or I was just overwhelmed by the high page count but once I got over that it started to get rather interesting. I will admit I did feel a little bit fatigued shortly after starting part two. It probably couldn’t have ended in a shorter fashion. It’s a suitably epic conclusion for an epic series. If Simon’s quest is to have any hope, Josua must move against the Storm King himself – a journey that will take him across endless seas, through ancient forests and into the stronghold of the Storm King himself.Īnd so we come to the end of the novel so long it had to be split into two parts. It will take every ounce of Simon’s courage and intelligence to journey to and then recover the great sword Memory and bring peace to Osten Ard. The only problem: an undead army, bolstered by powerful magic, lies between him and his destination. Lost, that is, until Simon Snowlock realises that he knows exactly where the sword is and how to recover it. The key to their victory lies in finding the third sword of legend, Memory – but the sword has been lost for ages. But the rebels, led by the exiled Prince Josua, have rallied at the Stone of Farewell and are ready to fight the Storm King with every power they can muster. Summary: In order for the Storm King can cement his power over Osten Ard, he must find and defeat the rebel forces massing against him. All I’m going to say is thank Christ for the summary at the beginning.
