"Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn proved there was an appetite not only for epic fantasy but for the complexity that Williams brought to the genre."
"Kitchen boys with high destinies are common enough, but Simon's adventures strike at the deepest myths of the empire he inhabits."
"The series follows the granddaughter of a dying king, Miriamele, and a kitchen boy named Simon as they try to stop her corrupt father, Elias, from ascending the throne."
"In time, Simon discovers that the tale of Miriamele's grandfather... is based in part on a lie: The old king had never slain a dragon as he'd claimed."
