The Darkest Road The whole point of this blog was to take away the stress of blogging. I’m very tired at the moment (Marcus just had three days home from school sick) and as much as I loved finishing the story of the Fionavar Tapestry, I can’t think of anything wise or clever (or really [...]

I just love the wording of this one, the clarity of the image of a town long ago destroyed. To the west, Amarigen’s ghostly ship was just then sailing north along Sennett Strand, its passengers looking out upon a town given to the fire long ago, long since turned to ashes and to shards of [...]

I’ve got a couple of quotes here that are really part of the same piece with some extra dialogue etc. in between. The idea (if not the details) of this stuck with me from the first time I read the book. I love the concept that free will derives from the presence of the Wild Hunt [...]

The Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay
I really do love these books. They just hit all the right spots for me. They did nearly 25 years ago and they do again now. You never quite know how it will go when rereading old favourites, but I’m so loving these all over again. Love, love, love them.
