The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams

A story of honorable kings, and brutal warlords; of castle scullions, and the forgotten dead.

This took me way too long to read. It was a frustratingly slow book. I didn't care for any of the characters. There was nothing to keep me reading, though I kept on. The ending was good, though.

This is technically a reread, but I remember almost nothing about this book except for some vague and unimportant scenes about 2/3 through the book. I really loved this book. Its so slow, but I loved his prose and didn't mind the slow build.
My biggest complaint is that many of the characters feel non-distinct. Miriamele and Maegwin feel like the same person. I couldn't tell you who Guthwilf, Fengbald and Isgrimnur are and what role they have in the story and what the differences are between the lands they come from as they just sort of blend together. Other characters are obviously quite distinct like Binibik, Geloe, Josua and Elias.
