5.0 out of 5 stars Superb historical fantasy, Sep 6 2008
By Jack Blatant (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I absolutely love Guy Gavriel Kay's fantasy books, and I am especially fond of his books which mirror historical setting and personages. The two books of the Sarantine Mosaic are probably my favourite Kay books, or at least they are tied with The Lions of Al-Rassan.

In this two-part series (can it have two parts and still be a series?), Kay takes as his inspiration the Emperor Justinian and the Empress Theodora, and the Late Classical city of Byzantium/Constantinople. The cast of characters is exceptional, and the main character of Crispin, the Rhodian mosaicist, has enough rough edges to make you groan at his bull-headedness even as you feel sympathy for his pain and loss. The story's twists and turns unfold in an elegant manner, almost as a dance, and the reader is left to marvel at the subtlety and complexity of the world in which Kay's characters move with varying degrees of success and ease. Some books make you feel the richer for having read them, and for me, this is one of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intellectual Genius, Nov 30 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Sarantine Mosaic #1 Sailing To Sarantium (Paperback)
Sailing to Sarantium is an incredibly thoughtful, well planned and captivating book. The intensity of the writing is a real treat for readers who enjoy high quality fiction, that has underpinnings of real history. Guy Gavriel Kay is an incredibly talented writer, and we Canadians should be proud of him. The sequel is equally fantastic and teh pair are a must for teh bookshelves of all serious fiction readers.
