snixo048 's review for:

The Summer Tree by Guy Gavriel Kay
4.0

This is my second time reading this book (this time was on audio book)

This is a great story, full of Tolkien influences (and maybe some Robert Jordan)?

This is a book to read when you are looking for something skilfully written yet familiar. This story is filled with fantasy tropes, but sometimes that is what you want from a book.

One of the stories I find too difficult to read as anything other than a scan (you will know it when you get to it). The gender dynamics are a little outdated, but I am able to look past it. It's a good story and I do love all the characters. I think almost all of them transform in fascinating ways. A good book all around. Read it when you are craving classic fantasy.
