Query: Good but not groundbreaking

'The Dragonbone Chair' follows teen aged Simon, scullion in the castle of High King Prester John. When Prester John dies his son Elias inherits the throne, and a shadow falls over the kingdom. Simon finds himself caught up in the dispute between King Elias and his brother Josua, as well as the machinations of the evil Priest Pyrates. Ultimately he is forced to flee the castle and take part in a desperate quest to find the legendary sword- Thorn.This is book one of 'Memory Sorrow and Thorn'. Tad Williams is not breaking new ground here, but still it is fairly good. Many complain that it takes too long to get going but I didn't really find that to be an issue. Although the main focus is on Simon, Williams switches frequently to other character's story arcs.The world building is pretty good, with several human cultures, trolls and the immortal Sithi, and lots of names with apostrophes.
