januaryf 's review for:
Under Heaven
by Guy Gavriel Kay
I'm a big Kay fan, but his past few books haven't lived up to my expectations of his novels. With this one, I felt like I was reading an earlier novel - the characters were great (both good, bad, and ambiguous). Kay is usually great at making me cry at some point in his novels (Tigana, Song for Arbonne, Lions of Al-Rassan), this one just didn't have that emotional investment. There were parts that made me a bit sad, but that was it.
The story was interesting, as was the time and place it was set. Kay sucked me into the world he had created, and I wanted to keep reading to find out how the intricacies would play out. He didn't dissapoint there.
