    This is by far my favourite book of all time. I had to read it for a fantasy fiction course in university and so was a little wary about how much I might like it but WOW. This book is compelling and well developed, the complexity is amazingly executed and it is just a thoroughly addictive and fantastic read!

    I didn't realize Ysabel had anything to do with Fionavar! I was sooo close to picking it up today too!! I will absolutely have to read it now, LOL

    Have you read Ysabel yet? It takes place years later but some of the characters from Fionavar make a reappearance.

    I was given this trilogy for Christmas by a friend. I was not sure I would enjoy fantasy, but having nothing to do one night I started to read, and I could not put it down.

    Absolute MUST READ fantasy!

    Kay has a wonderfully smooth, poetic writing style that lends itself perfectly to weaving the rich mythology of this tale. The reader becomes utterly immersed in the land of Fionavar through its peoples, its history and its magic. Unforgettable characters and unending adventure make this an epic fantasy that easily rivals The Lord of The Rings! This is a MUST READ for any fantasy lover!

    Completely Fabulous...

    I don't understand how this trilogy got such mixed reviews - like Tolkien, either you love it intensely or think it's boring as hell. I am one of the people who LOVED this trilogy, and I rarely read fantasy. I liked the characters, I liked the plot, and I think Kay has a very elegant and poetic writing style, which I enjoyed. One of those books where you can't let anyone else tell you what to think- read it and form your own opinion! (That said, I would like to wholeheartedly endorse this book!)

From Our Editors

When Guy Gavriel Kay's Summer Tree was first published, critics were quick to liken it to The Lord of the Rings. It was ripe with the same mystical elements and epic proportions as Tolkien's watermark. Then The Wandering Fire, the second instalment in the Finovar Tapestry trilogy, took things to the next level, bringing together warriors, wizards, spirits and other alternative beings to further the tale of five young adventurers on a quest through the mystical land. Everything came together perfectly for The Darkest Road, the series' absorbing finale. Now all three can be enjoyed together in The Finovar Tapestry Omnibus.

Employee Review Alec from Coles #119, Dartmouth

FROM: The Best Book I Ever Read

With life-like characters, an epic tale that gets better by the page, written in a style that Tolkien would be proud of, how could this not be the best book ever made? Kay has a gift for dialogue and description which draws the reader so far into the tale that it will have you laughing out loud and crying in grief (a cliche, I know, but accurate). The story, which traces the struggles of five people through a land beset by evil, gives traditional fantasy themes a new twist, and should be the book against which all other novels of the genre are measured.

About the Author

Guy Gavriel Kay, fantasy writer, was born November 7, 1954 in Canada. He studied law at the University of Toronto. He became interested in fantasy fiction while working as an assistant to Christopher Tolkien. He assisted him with the editing of J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion." His first fantasy novels were The Summer Tree, The Wandering Fire, and The Darkest Road. These three titles make up the trilogy called Fionavar Tapestry Trilogy. This trilogy has been translated into twelve languages. His works have earned him Canada?s equivalent of the Hugo in 1986 for The Wandering Fire and the Aurora Award for Tigana and The Wandering. Kay currently resides in Toronto, Canada.
