Has anyone read Otherland? (Tad Williams)

[Syntheticaudio]

What I actually really want to know is actually - has anyone reread Otherland??

I flew through them all in high school during which I'm fairly sure I didn't talk to another human being for about a month. But since then I have struggled to reread which bothers me because I used to consider it one of my most favourite series but can't really say that anymore considering how tedious I find it to read the first book (after having attempted a reread multiple times over the span of at least five years).

The thing is, I don't feel I've outgrown them or anything like that and still enjoy the genre so I just can't figure out why it's become so difficult...

Has anyone got any suggestions or similar stories? Especially concerning this particular series because I do really want to reread all of them but I just don't want to ruin the magic for myself and am really worried persevering through these feelings might do just that.

I have not read Otherland, but I have read Tad Williams series called "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn" and it is amazing. I have reread it several times already. The first book is called "The Dragonbone Chair." Other authors you should check out if you like Tad Williams are Richard Lee Byers, Terry Brooks and K.J Taylor.

Thanks.

I agree that this is one very poignant work. I feel this way about Game of Thrones. I loved reading the series the first time through, but after that, I find myself skipping large sections or just following one POV character through the series to review a particular character in its entirety.

I also very like "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn". I read "Otherland" too. Tt’s not bad, but I like “Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn” and "The Last King of Osten Ard" much more.

Maybe it was the concept you liked but it’s no longer fresh for you?
