Re: So, how many of you have read Guy Gavriel Kay? ajah Send a noteboard - 07/09/2010 08:47:16 AM

Have you read Kay?

yes


What books have you read and did you enjoy them?

Fionavar Tapestry

Sarantine Mosaic duology

Tigana

Ysabel

The Last Light of the Sun

I liked all these books except I really, really hated Tigana. I read it knowing it is most people's favorite. But I found it literally painful to read.

The Last Light of the Sun started out a little slow/difficult to get into, but I stuck to it and found it to be worthwhile.


Have I unkowingly read the best Kay has to offer and now be disappointed with whatever I choose to read next?

I don't know. A lot of people believe the Fionavar Tapestry trilogy is his best work.

Which of his books would you suggest I read next?

see above

To clarify, when I said "most people I know", I mostly meant on this very site. Legolas - 07/09/2010 09:54:56 PM 675 Views
Ysabel is okay. It's adorable if you've read Fionavar, though, and so is worth it. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/09/2010 04:23:22 AM 297 Views
