The Lions of Al-Rassan Reviews

It's rare for a book to make me cry but cry I did the first time I read Lions and everytime I've read it since. This novel's marketed as a fantasy but I tend to think of it as historical fantasy. If you let yourself look past the names you'll see plenty of parallels to western history.

Guy Gavriel Kay's an absolutely wonderful writer and I was sucked into the story immediately could hardly put the book down the firs time I read Lions. I ached for the characters everytime something got them down and cheered when things were good. Lions will continue to be one of my favourites for many, many years to come.
