Just wonderful

This is a complete, finely written, thoroughly enjoyable, surprising, and rewarding read. Really pleased with this.

Another GGK Masterpiece

Excellent. Brilliant. One of GGK's best. Historical fantasy at its finest. Why GGK is not more popular is a mystery.

A Love Song to Storytelling

Astounding and lovingly-crafted story. I'm not much for words, but I was completely blown away by the book. It builds a gorgeous tapestry to paint a high drama on, and it builds to a sweeping, majestic conclusion.

I have also literally never heard a better narrator for an audiobook. Not only does he capture the tone, diction, and rhythm of each word wonderfully, but he even sings the songs! A true troubadour himself! He nails the melody, he has a beautiful voice, and he has a range that can do a deep baritone of a male singer and a gentle alto of a female singer!

I have nothing more to share but heaps of praise. Get his book.

Euan Morton - above and beyond

This book was the usual fantasy plot of epic battles, manly men, and women who make them swoon. Well written, but I’m definitely ready for fantasy that moves out of these royal clashes where everyone beyond the blue bloods are just there to serve as maids or fodder for battles and plunder. Having said that, the narrator did an unparalleled job. Because a significant portion of the story circled around bards, it was truly meaningful for Euan Morton to lend his skilled voice to the songs. That was an unexpected treat.

Masterpiece

Absolutely incredible! This might be the best book I’ve read in a few years. Guy Gavriel Kay can do no wrong!
