“Under Heaven”
One of my long-standing wishes is that Guy Gavriel Kay would turn his historical-fantasy approach to Asia — China, Japan, wherever. According to news posted by GGK himself to Bright Weavings, that’s exactly what he’s done with his new book: … Continue reading
“Even the birds above the lake are singing of my love….”
Eight hundred years ago today, the town of Beziers in Provence became the first city sacked in the Albigensian Crusade. Thus, it seems a good day to post this review. After Tigana, Guy Gavriel Kay continued his exploration of historical … Continue reading
“Let your memory be like a blade in my soul.”
Tigana was Guy Gavriel Kay’s fourth novel published, and the first after the Fionavar Tapestry trilogy. It stands with a number of marked differences from Fionavar, pointing the way toward themes and a general approach to fantasy that would dominate … Continue reading
“Let it be done with love.”
After finishing my recent re-read of The Fionavar Tapestry a month or so back, I found myself not having a whole lot new to say about it, mainly because of all of Guy Gavriel Kay’s books, Fionavar is the one … Continue reading

Since finishing my re-read of The Fionavar Tapestry a week ago, I’ve been trying to think of something new to say about the trilogy. I re-read this series just three years ago, and many of those observations still hold. This … Continue reading

Most hated by the Dark, for their name was Light
Yesterday morning I finished re-reading The Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay. Each time I re-read this trilogy, I wonder if the tale’s final 150 pages or so will still pack that same emotional punch, given how well I know … Continue reading
“What would you have me do?”
So cries one of the central characters in Guy Gavriel Kay’s magnificent novel The Lions of Al-Rassan, which I re-read for the first time in four years while on my trip out west for the sister-in-law’s wedding. (When you travel … Continue reading
The Novels of Guy Gavriel Kay
I was asked in comments the other day about Guy Gavriel Kay’s Fionavar Tapestry trilogy and how it compares to his latter works. I gave a short response, but it occurs to me that I might not have ever actually … Continue reading
