The Summer Tree
by Guy Gavriel Kay
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I am not usually a big fan of the "modern people take a trip through time and space to medieval-esque place" genre. And the beginning of the book was a little stilted and hard to get into (a classic sci-fi fault, imo).
The plot and the language of this book are by far the strong points. The characters are intriguing... but not quite real. They seem to fall just one step short of being completely believable. Specifically the younger prince and the wizard are my least favorite characters so far with David and the plains-people being, by far, my favorite.
But regardless, this is definitely a book worth reading and I'll be checking out the rest of the series shortly :)
