The Priory of the Orange Tree

I am insipidly in love with this book which has every beautiful, magical piece of epic fantasy that I fell in love with as a kid, rendered beautifully, and conspicuously avoiding all of fantasy's historic pitfalls. I may have a new all time favorite book. It has been a long time since I made it through an 800-page behemoth, but I didn't want it to end. I want to curl up and live in this book. I want to buy my own copy so I can kiss it goodnight every evening.
