A review by mjdale95
Son av ljus och mörker by Guy Gavriel Kay
3.0
series overall: 3.5/5
very evocative of Lord of the Rings, with the beautiful worldbuilding and surprising emotional depth, but also the long-winded passages of magical gobbledegook, history, and mythology.
the protagonists are travellers from our world, but they adapt to their new lives so quickly that this interesting premise is somewhat wasted.
very much a Classic Fantasy, with all the cliches of storyline, but with Guy Gavriel Kay's trademark beautiful prose it's still an enjoyable read for the most part
