52. Tad Williams - Stone of Farewell
This book is the second of the "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn" trilogy.
After the struggle to get the sword Thorn, Simon and his friends must journey to the Stone of Farewell where they are to meet up with Prince Joshua and his forces in an attempt to rebuild what they have before they can rally against the evil King Elias and Ineluki the Storm King. However, the journey is not as easy as it seems. The entire land is enveloped into a permanent winter, making travel incredibly trecherous. In a short while, Simon is separated from his companions, and becomes the first human to enter the legendary Sithi city of Jao e-Tinukai'i, only to be told that he would not be able to lead. At the same time, Prince Joshua and his companions must travel through the Aldheorte Forest and the Thrithings while being pursued by Ineluki's forces. They all need to make it to the Stone of Farewell before the worst of the storms set in if they want to survive.
Once again, Williams writes a fantastic, albeit tough, read. It was easy to fall into the story and start relating with the characters right off the bat. You need to read the first book The Dragonbone Chair if you want to have any clue as to what is going on in this book.
