Hi Loved this book....I remember it having all my favorite stuff for a fantasy book.
Intrigue, mystery, a bit of magic, tragedy, and a bit of romance.
GGK is a amazing story teller and we respected in my book...no pun intended! ; )
This to me, is one of his best....like most of his books, it stays with you long after you are finished.

This was my First GGK book. I collected All of the books he wrote. Well, that I could get my hands on. This one always stuck with me. My Second favourite was Tigana but I was 14 when I read it and I couldn't follow it very well. This one will always be among my favorites.

I love his writing style. The plots themselves aren't groundbreaking, but he writes with such dignity and beauty that you are still captivated. His "Fionavar Tapestry" trilogy is still my favorite, but this is a welcome addition to my growing collection of his work.

This was my first Kay book and I thought it was really good. Unique... like historical fiction with just a *touch* of fantasy. Good character development.

This is a beautifully written book. If you like Kay's Lions of Al-Rassan, you'll definitely like Song for Arbonne. It is top-notch!
