There are kinds of action, for good or ill, that lie so far outside the boundaries of normal behaviour that they force us, in acknowledging that they have occurred, to restructure our own understanding of reality.If you missed Gandalf and the Fellowship of the Ring, miss them no more. The Fionavar Tapestry will provide you with the much needed Tolkienesque fix, perhaps a shade darker and a touch more sensual than the original. It is a five star, compulsory read for the lovers of this style, andThis is Guy Gavriel Kays earliest published novel. Im sure there were previous books that didnt get published, because you dont become such a skilled writer without plenty of practice. To be fair, I have previously read two of his more recent novels (set in Ancient China) which are masterful and The Summer Tree is very obviously an early entry in his oeuvre.

I read this book for one of my group challenges and Im so glad I did as it was awesome!! Happy Reading!! Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
At the end we only have ourselves anyway, wherever it comes down.
The first thought I had when I read the description was, "Gawd, not again *groaning moaning*". I've read attempted to read enough Tolkien wannabes with elves, orcs, and swords, and had enough. Then, I read extremely favorable reviews on GR about this book. It piqued my curiosity. Wait, what? This is how Tolkien should be written??What the...Frankly, upon finishing this book, I'm inclined to agree with the favorable critics. This is very much like LotR, so much that I can see many fans either
