Another Fabulous Book from Guy Kay,
By
This review is from: A Song for Arbonne (Paperback)
I love A Song for Arbonne.I admit that the book started out a little bit slowly, as action was frequently interrupted by characters musing over the past. But once the back story was sufficiently explained and the main plot really began, I couldn't put the book down. Kay completely surprised and delighted me many times (as well as made me cry), and the battle scene towards the end of the book was simply one of the best I've ever read--so emotionally charged and unpredictable, as battle truly is. Even though the prose in this book might not be quite as perfect as in his more recent works (like The Last Light of the Sun, which is one of my favourite books EVER), nevertheless many of Kay's senteces here are pure poetry. The ending of the book was utterly delightful and made me laugh out loud before closing the book with a smile on my face. Another reviewer mentioned that this book contains graphic sex, which is simply not true. The book does contain a few scenes of sexuality, but they are very tasteful and well done and leave everything to the imagination. I honestly can't figure out how someone could be offended by Kay's tasteful and maturely written books. There are a few of Kay's books I have not read, and I truly look forward to it because I believe he is a writer of the very highest calibre. He makes you laugh, and cry, and possibly even come away from his books a better person.

I'm not quite sure what to think.,
By Andrew Plimpton "Don Gato" (Massachusettes) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Song for Arbonne (Paperback)
This book definately had good aspects to it .It had a good deal of cultural development,much character development as well,very intrigueing plot ,but there were a couple things that were not very good.1.There was a bit too much sex.Anyone who cannot bare excplicit sex will definately not like this. 2.There were many pointless characters. 3.There were many pointless paragraphs of discriptions. 4.Too many flashbacks. But otherwise ,this is a very good book.I've had the Summer Tree reccomended to me ,so I will definately read that.

Excellent book,

This review is from: A Song for Arbonne (Paperback)
The beginning was a little slow, and the names were difficult at first for me. However, this is a great book. It is so good in fact that I think will read the rest of Kay's works to see if they are as good. It would be hard to give details of the story without revealing some its mystery. It's best to say, read it. In the first portion of the book very little happens, but it is essential to setting up the world and how its people live. Once the adventure begins, you are in for a wonderful treat.
