Summary
New York Times best-selling author Tad Williams is a storyteller with imagination and vision. This saga builds an epic fantasy world that comes alive with character-driven fantasy and dazzling attention to detail that immediately grabs your attention from the first word.
The sequel to one of the best loved fantasy epics of all time, the inspiration for Christopher Paolini and George R. R. Martin.
The Witchwood Crown continues the story of Simon, servant boy made king, and his queen, Miriamele, 30 years after the events of the concluding part of the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy. In To Green Angel Tower, the might of the Storm King was conquered by the League of the Scroll. Now new troubles have come to the kingdom of Osten Ard, a world where humans, Norns and the Sithi can live in peace for only a little time before war raises its head....

What a performance! What a way to come back to Ost
This book is a fantastic example of the best writing Tad Williams has ever done, and the performance is truly out of this world. I immediately downloaded the sequel and will be listening to anything else performed by Andrew Wincott. A must-have if you enjoyed the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series!

Can't wait for the next one - absolutely excellent
Wow, what a book! I really enjoyed the original series of Memory, Sorry and Thorn, but this is even better. Much better actually. In the years since writing the original (1988?) he has become a much better writer. The story is more complex and engaging: every chapter is excellent and has great twists and turns. His characters are more detailed and believable. Two of them this time are a comedy double act and the humour is great - he has learned to write comedy since 1988. I laughed out loud at several points. And Andrew Wincott does superb character acting, not missing a single nuance of a sentence - he is really plugged in.
I am counting the days until the next one as this, in my opinion, has been set up with this book as one of the best fantasy saga's of all time, topping just about everything else I have read. And this book in itself is just a joy from start to finish. I wish I could contact the author and reader to say "Superb work guys! Superb." If you like fantasy then you can't go without this in your collection in my opinion.

good yarn
some interesting twists and reveals! enjoyable to listen along to though I did find myself drifting off at some points and had to rewind numerous times....but I am 6 books in so it becomes a bit like a background story at times.

Well worth reading and enjoying
It is rare that an epic fantasy is continued, but this is truly what many of us yearn for when a story finishes and the characters we have grown to know and care about are gone. As here, Simon, Binabik and many more return as older and wiser people living their lives only to realise all is not a quiet in the forests and mountains as they had presumed

A long awaited continuation of the Dragonbone Chair trilogy.
This has a slow beginning as we reacquaint ourselves with the characters but is an engrossing story, leaving me anxious to continue the tale. Well narrated.

Perfectly read, with so many voices!
So many characters are brought to life here, with accents and mannerisms that leave you in doubt as to who is speaking.
A masterful performance.
