A Beautiful Story Set in a Beautiful World, July 31 2004
I love the Fionavar Tapestry. In these books Kay has woven a beautiful, complex story. The setting is Fionavar, a gorgeous and enchanted world filled with magic and history--a world which reminds me of Narnia or Middle Earth. The story is filled with strong, compelling characters, both male and female, who sometimes have to make difficult choices. At times the story is sad but Kay's writing is so graceful that I enjoyed even the sad parts.
The Wandering Fire, the second book in the triology, continues the saga begun in The Summer Tree. It contains many moments not only of excitement and action but poignant emotion, especially in the stories of Darien and Finn and that of Kevin.
I would highly recommend The Fionavar Tapestry to anyone who enjoys epic fantasy with powerful magic and beautiful settings.

Amazing, Sep 12 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wandering Fire (The Fionavar Tapestry Book 2) (Paperback)
An epic and grand adventure that captures the best and worst. Encompassing more then I could have possibly imagined. Inspiring and compelling, this tale meets and exceeds all of my expectations. I'll never view the Arthurian legend quite the same again and it is but a minor part of this in comparison. I can easily compare this to the Tolkien trilogy. Enjoy
