Otherland

Pros

• Otherland
• The Otherland books by Tad Williams are very engrossing and will keep you busy for a while !
• I'll just be over here reminding people that Otherland is an absolutely fantastic sci fi fantasy series that needs more recognition. My favorite of Williams.
• If you liked Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, I'd highly recommend Williams' Otherland series. Sci fi, but with heavy fantasy themes. I personally like it more than MST.
• Finally reread it a few years ago and still loved it. Few of the story lines could be pared back or cut but love the overall story and so much there to stoke the imagination.

Cons

• I’ve recommended it many times, great concepts, but it’s phenomenally longwinded.
• Brilliant trilogy stretched into four overlong books. I love large chunks of it and most of the characters, but wow does it run long.
• It's a great series but bloated. Williams basically used it as his kitchen-sink series, and it suffers for it. An entire book could be eliminated and the series would be much, much better.
• OTherland is... messy. It has some great ideas, but if people think Dragonbone Chair is slow, Otherland is so much slower. The entire first book is a thousand pages of people trying to find out what Otherland even is before getting there.
