dromwald 's review for:

Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay

5.0

---

This is the second work by Kay that I have read and I wasn't disappointed. Like Tigana, this book was beautifully and skillfully woven and accessible, by which I mean it drew me in within a few pages and kept me there - escapism without the guilt. I love it when a writer's skill takes me 'there', draws me in to the world they have created and Kay really does do this skillfully. A fantasy creation this may well be but the author has clearly done his research into the era of China that was his inspiration for the story.

Suffice it to say that I loved this story.
