Review: A Brightness Long Ago

A Brightness Long Ago A Brightness Long Ago by Guy Gavriel Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

GGKay writes lyrical, evocative fantasy, the kind that immerses the reader in another time and place. His extensive knowledge of world history gives his work an air of authenticity, so that when one's reading about Sarantium or Tigana or El-Rassan, the reader is transported to lands very similar to our own historical sites--Byzantium, and Spain, and now in A Brightness Long Ago, Renaissance Italy.

For lovers of history and good fantasy, Kay is an author who always delivers a moving, thoughtful book full of the kind of detail that helps you know you're spending time with the best there is.
