A review by sarahmsklar8
Children of Earth and Sky by Guy Gavriel Kay
adventurous
challenging
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
3.0
- While this is slotted as a fantasy, there is the smallest dabble that I would argue it doesn't even count. It's more of a literary Renaissance, in a fictitious world that mirrors our own.
- Children of Earth and Sky is a prime example of "It's not where you go, but how you get there". There are number of key characters, all on similar roads but with unique goals.
- I know a lot of fantasy readers want standalones and love this book for being one, I wish it was broken up into at least a duology. There are so many stories overlapping without enough time to establish a connection. I found myself often either lost or expecting of something to connect the dots only to be let down, which left me numb to the journey and disconnected from the characters.
