brendapike 's review for:
Under Heaven
by Guy Gavriel Kay
Guy Gavriel Kay has a certain tone to his writing that really appeals to me—sort of a lamentation for a fading empire. He creates very complex worlds and very well researched historical settings (in this case Tang China). They're so interesting that after finishing I want to go out and research that place/time period.
That said, there's very little action in his books, and usually the main characters are passive observers. It works for him, but it might not be for everyone.
