A Brightness Long Ago by Guy Gavriel Kay
Full Review
I loved A Brightness Long Ago. One of the reasons Guy Gavriel Kay is one of my favorite authors is I always feel absolutely awestruck when reading one of his books. This book is a first person retrospective, primarily covering one period. I found it easy to forget that it was a retrospective and often made the assumption that the period being described was current. It took me a lot longer than it probably should have to figure out which character was the main protagonist. I'm going to blame that on it being an audiobook and on listening in 15-20 minute snippets for the first third of the book.
