I've often thought of trying Kay because his books always look so intriguing to me when I come across them at the library. In fact, I think I've checked out Under Heaven a few times. Unfortunately, my library doesn't own Sailing to Sarantium - I might have to rememdy that. :-)Anbolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10080054175904900094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-63615324431180059032014-01-27T19:56:14.432-06:002014-01-27T19:56:14.432-06:00JoAnn, Lymond does leave such a void!

The only character who even comes close in my mind is Peter Wimsey - but then he was partly an inspiration for Lymond, as I remember.<br /><br />Alex, I think I started with the Fionavar books the first time around, though I really have no memory at all of the first one. It seems like most of his later books are stand-alones.<br /><br />Helen, I don't have Under Heaven yet, but it's only a matter of time :) I do have A Song for Arbonne & The Lions of Al-Rassan, both of which I want to read next.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-80973174490616073092014-01-27T14:22:57.791-06:002014-01-27T14:22:57.791-06:00After reading Claire's review of Under Heaven ...After reading Claire's review of Under Heaven last year I had almost decided that would be the next Guy Gavriel Kay book I read, but now I'm very tempted to read this one next instead.

While I enjoyed them I didm;'t think they were a patch on Kerr's writing but I'm quite willing to give him a second chance as well.<br /><br />Have you read Jan Siegel? You might enjoy her work as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-40124307941218813662014-01-27T08:48:39.266-06:002014-01-27T08:48:39.266-06:00So happy you've found an author to fill the Ly...So happy you've found an author to fill the Lymond void!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-80434680687698621072014-01-26T19:41:52.972-06:002014-01-26T19:41:52.972-06:00elizabeth, that's just what a book evangelist ...elizabeth, that's just what a book evangelist likes to hear :) Have you read others of his books?
