Guy Gavriel Kay
Bern Thorkellson, punished for his father’s sins, denied his heritage and home, commits an act of vengeance and desperation that brings him face-to-face with a past he’s been trying to leave behind...
In the Anglcyn lands of King Aeldred, the shrewd king, battling inner demons all the while, shores up his defenses with alliances and diplomacy - and with swords and arrows. Meanwhile his exceptional, unpredictable sons and daughters give shape to their own desires when battle comes and darkness falls in the spirit wood...
And in the valleys and shrouded hills of the Cyngael, whose voices carry music even as they feud and raid amongst each other, violence and love become deeply interwoven when the dragon ships come and Alun ab Owyn, pursuing an enemy in the night, glimpses strange lights gleaming above forest pools...
Making brilliant use of motifs from saga and song and chronicle, Guy Gavriel Kay conjures a work of subtle, intricate richness, bringing to life an unforgettable world balanced on the knife-edge of change.

Good twist of fantasy and history

Narrator did a Great Job

Regardless, it's an excellent book with an okay narration and, as with every GGK novel, I highly recommend it.

It was a wonderful voyage. I am incredibly grateful for the trip!! BTW — if you have gotten super tied to Simon Vance taking you through Kay’s magnificent worlds, like me, Holter Graham is a shock to the system… but I can assure you once you reconcile the fact that Holter is not Simon Vance, will never be Simon Vance… and comes from an entirely different part of this Earth that Simon Vance, and thus differently accented… you will soon come to really enjoy Holter Graham.
I should note that I lived in Denmark as a kid so I’m a sucker for all things Vikings. I was thrilled to live in this world with maybe the only mildest of disappointments that we didn’t really get to live in the world of the Norsemen as much as had been hoped… but… even though I am trying to complain, I can’t. It’s just too good.
My highest recommendation.
Perhaps the first time for 5 stars in all three categories for me

The narrator is decent, but he can't imbue the prose with the gravitas and emotion that others (like Simon Vance or Tim Gerard Reynolds) do so well.
Quintessential GGK, but the narrator is a bit weak.

Best book I've ever listened to

The danger with some of these epic historic fantasies, former, is that they can feel pompous. Particularly with women's lives, because they are so often portraits as either victims or witches. There is far more nuance, compassion and identification in this book. I never felt this book to be pompous. Big, yes. Full of opinions about the nature of life and reality, certainly, and always artful enough that I didn't feel lectured to- it was mearly thought provoking. All and all a lovely book. Beautifully written and read.
Lyrical and Believable
