Book Reviews of City of Golden Shadow (Otherland, Volume 1)
Book Review: Great Writing filled with Mystery, Suspense, and Wonder
Summary: 5 Stars
City of Golden Shadow (Otherland, Volume 1) is an extremely well written book written for the indulgent, imaginative reader. This book is not for the impatient or action-addicted. Though this book is not devoid of fast paces and action, it mostly goes at its own pace. The book is written to mystify and use imagination as a tool of entertainment.
Tad Williams is a great writer. He uses vivid, powerful descriptions and he never over explains anything. Skeptical readers or impatient readers will not enjoy this book. It is excellent world building, excellent description, and well made, distinct characters. I would recommend this to any reader who is looking for what I previously mentioned.
Summary of City of Golden Shadow (Otherland, Volume 1)
The first volume in this mesmerizing story takes readers to the near-future, when a global conspiracy threatens to sacrifice the Earth for the promise of a far more exclusive place--Otherland, a universe where any fantasy can be made real. BOMC alternate selection. Ads in "Locus".Best-selling fantasy author Tad Williams (Tailchaser's Song, the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series) begins a far-reaching cyberpunk saga with Renie Sulaweyo, a teacher in the South Africa of tomorrow, realizing something is wrong on the network. Some of the younger kids, including her brother Stephen, have logged into the net, but they can't get back out. The clues point to a mysterious golden city called Otherland, but everyone who tries to find out what's going on ends up dead. Settle in for a long, enjoyable ride, because this 770-page monster is just the first of four projected novels.
