This book was a disappointing effort by Kay, especially in light of almost all of the other books he's written. The saddest part about it is he ties it into his first and possibly best work, The Fionavar Tapestry. By extension, pulling that trilogy down with it. Kay seems to be drifting off course lately, with Last Light of the Sun and now Ysabel. LLotS was still much better than this though.
Summing up, if it wasn't Kay, I probably would have given it 1 star. |
