![]() ![]() Science Fantasy isn´t everyone´s favorite, this might be, besides the length and complexity of many plotlines, one of the reasons why this series hasn´t the same status as works of similar quality by Simmons, Martin, Erikson, and others. ![]() and especially the ones who gave the fantasy sci-fi crossover genre a new hype such as Mievielle, Hamilton, etc. ![]() ![]() He puts so many details, extra plotlines, secondary characters, and worldbuilding into his creations that he can be named in one line with Sanderson, Martin, Erikson, etc. He is one of the possibly most unknown and underrated master fantasy authors, having created 2 series, this one and Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn that made him a living legend. William's style reminded me a bit of Neil Gaiman, just expanded to the ultimate maximum possible. I have the suspicion that the inventors of the cyber and post cyber genre names just wanted to pimp, because there is not so much difference. A very complex, unique series, mixing up different genres, never boring because of Williams´ talent and feeling for language, it describes one of the possible, awaiting futures, making dystopian cyberpunk seem empty in contrast to this rich, colorful, postcyberpunk worldbuilding. ![]()
