A review by richardwells
Children of Earth and Sky by Guy Gavriel Kay

3.0

This is like a prequel to All the Seas of the World, not as good, though fine on its own. It could have been a four star read were it not for an unforgivable sin that destroyed my suspension of disbelief. I issued a conditional forgiveness, but the stain lingered. The sin was so unnecessary, neither furthered the plot, nor improved characterization, and I can't for the life of me figure out why it was left in except as some kind of meta toying with the reader. Grrr. If you want to know the nature of the crime, message me. Otherwise it's a spoiler (I guess.)

Plot summary from some other reader.

It appears goodreads is messing with the website. Anyway, I haven't read this book 5 times as the site indicates.
