About this listen
Southmarch Castle is about to be caught between two implacable enemies, the ancient, immortal Qar and the insane god-king, the Autarch of Xis. Meanwhile, its two young defenders, the king’s children Princess Briony and Prince Barrick, are both trapped far away from home and fighting for their lives.
Barrick is lost behind the Shadowline, facing all the terrible dangers and mysteries of that magical twilight land. Briony is alone in a treacherous foreign court, struggling to survive with no weapon left to her but her wits. And in the midst of all this, something unbelievable is awakening underneath Southmarch, something powerful and terrible that the world has not seen for thousands of years.
In this third volume Barrick and Briony, along with Qinnitan - the Autarch’s desperate, escaped slave - a loyal soldier named Ferras Vansen, and a tiny handful of other folk, ordinary and extraordinary, must find a way to save their world, or else witness the rise of a terrible new age - an age of unending darkness.

much much better
The story gets so much more interesting. the first book was such a slow burner but characters have all blossomed interestingly.
A little more pace is required to make this a better read but all in all I loved every minute.

Epic in Breadth & Character
Not quite up to the standard of Green Angel Tower (Thorn, Sorrow & Misery) ?? but still Very, very engaging - well woven tail full of character and breadth - Highly Recommend!

Good story
Tad Williams is a good craftsman and this story is well crafted. Not the best of his but worth the trouble to listen to.
Narration is SLIGHTLY annoying, but works out pretty well anyhow.

Epic, but not to all tastes
Tad Williams continues his trend of epic storytelling and world-building, but variations on “I do not understand” continue to crop up with unreasonable regularity three-quarters through the Shadowmarch quartet. The protagonists continue to feel powerless and swept along on a regular basis - this was not to my taste but may be to others. I found it frustrating. Dick Hill continues to turn in a highly professional performance and gives different voices to the different characters with consummate skill. Plenty of the mysteries that have driven the tale are now solved, though a little more “show, don’t tell” might have been nice. An engaging work, and definitely worth it for Williams fans, but I would argue both Memory, Sorrow & Thorn and Otherland are better.
