A review by dayseraph
The Darkest Road by Guy Gavriel Kay
3.0
I would give this series a 3.5 overall. The story is very intricate and well told. However, the language used sometimes made me roll my eyes. It was unnecessarily flowery. Also, the author kept using the word "diffidently" which just rubbed me the wrong way. Why so diffident, Guy?
Normally I could let those things slide though, because this is after all fantasy. But! He had to go and insert Camelot into the story. Everything about the Camelot subplot irritated me. Why not have these characters and events without having to constantly explicitly reference existing lore? That was lame and really took away from my enjoyment of the series.
