Song for the Basilisk by Patricia A. McKillip
4.0
This is Patricia McKillip's version of [b:Tigana.|104089|Tigana (10th Anniversary Edition)|Guy Gavriel Kay|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171506613s/104089.jpg|1907200] Or at least that's what I kept mentally comparing it to as I read it. I did try to shake myself out of that mindset because it is, of course, it's own book, but if books were people these two would be very close friends.
So, obviously, I loved it. The characters are very well realized, the story is nicely paced and holds your attention, and, while it's a bit sentimental and romantic it never gets syrupy. Maybe one of my favorite of her recent books. Right up there with [b:Od's Magic|19823|Od Magic|Patricia A. McKillip|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167289683s/19823.jpg|21023] anyway.
