Reviews for Wandering Fire (#2 Fionavar)

Praise for The Fionovar Tapestry trilogy Kay's bestselling - and stunning - fantasy trilogy finds its power not in its feats of imagination or world-building (though there are dazzling heapings of both) but from its rootedness in the reality of human emotions and relationships. --The Globe and Mail Immense scale, literary richness and dazzling heroes. --Toronto Star A remarkable achievement . . . the essence of high fantasy. --Locus A grand galloping narrative . . . reverberates with centuries of mythic and incantory implications--with a little Prince Hal and Falstaff on the side. --Christian Science Monitor The Fionavar Tapestry, when all is said and done, is one of the most beautifully written and moving fantasy trilogies ever written. Those are very large words, but I truly believe this book is large enough to fit into such a reputation. --Green Man Review Praise for the novels of Guy Gavriel Kay [Read] anything by Guy Gavriel Kay...
