Recensione:

Praise for the Otherland series:

“Tad Williams is the brightest and best of the fantasists working in what is so often, and so inaccurately, described as ‘the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien’.” ―Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods

“Irresistible characters, challenging ideas, an intricate, and startlingly possible plot―everything any reader of SF or fantasy could ask for in a novel, with gorgeous writing besides. A dazzling book.” ―Melanie Rawn, author of Dragon Prince

“This brilliantly crafted book delivers even more than its title promises: not one other land but many come to life here, each engrossing, glittering, and dangerous. In this intricate geography of the mind Williams tells a cracking good story, but even as the suspense builds, you come to realize that you’re seeing a strangely familiar world―ours as it might come to be. Otherland is one of the best works of science fiction I’ve ever read.” ―Kathrine Kerr, author of the Dragon Mage series

“Williams creates a rewarding, satisfying reading experience that is part thriller, mostly fantasy, and always creative. Readers must be familiar with the other three Otherland volumes before attempting this one.” ―VOYA

“This stunning finale to the gigantic Otherland tetralogy, a brilliant fusion of quest fantasy and technological SF, is sure to please Williams’s many fans.” ―Publishers Weekly

“In this amazingly orchestrated final volume, Williams weaves together all the elements of his multiple storylines, culminating in the perfect ending. If you’ve missed the first parts of the Otherland saga, go back and start at the beginning―it will captivate you.” ―Books in Review

“Strongly written, finely characterized, masterfully plotted, and above all consistently intelligent in its examination of self and story, real and virtual, and the blurred boundaries in between, this series stands as a major achievement, and should cement Williams’ reputation as one of the most accomplished authors now working in the field.” ―SF Site
