An exceptionally well written book. A story of love, life, intrigue and war, and how seemingly random choices impact life. Probably the best book I've read this year.

convoluted, overwritten, too wordy, too slow, not imaginative enough, trying too hard to be more mainstream.
Not the Kay I knew, not nearly the Kay I expected.

As usual Kay made me cry. Several times. This is not, I think, my absolute favourite of Kay's novels, but I did love it. The environment, atmosphere and characters were all wonderful.

Beautiful. Stunning. Thought provoking. Moving.

GGK is the man.

I'm in awe. Absolutely gorgeous. I love Danio, I love Adria, I love Jelena, Antenami, Folco, Teobaldo, Ginerva. I'm touched, my soul feels heavy.

This is my first Guy Gavriel Kay book and I am so grateful. So looking forward to reading more of his work.

Definitely a new favourite.
