As a conclusion to the trilogy, To Green Angel Tower is, in my opinion, the best and most satisfying of the three books. Following the trajectory established by book two’s improvement upon book one, the third installment of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn improves on everything about the series by a considerable degree. Williams comes into his own as he fully leans into his hybrid style of melding classic and modern fantasy, which plays perfectly into the culmination of this dark and epic series. The final book feels unpredictable yet wholly satisfying all at once, delivering just enough of a classic fantasy ending tinged with a bittersweet edge to be a perfect culmination of such an incredible and foundational epic.
That is why, if you make it through the behemoth of a book it is Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn’s conclusion, you will understand why it is considered a classic. For a series with such a massive scale, one might expect some plot lines to be left feeling unexplored or characters left underdeveloped just from a logistics standpoint alone. But Williams somehow pulls of the Herculean task and deliver a satisfying conclusion to just about every story thread he sets up throughout the series. So, if you are a fan of the fantasy genre in any capacity, you should strongly consider reading the masterpiece that is Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn.
