This review is for the Fionavar Tapestry trilogy: The Summer Tree, The Wandering Fire, The Darkest Road. I've never been that interested in reading fantasy novels - it's never been my preference when looking at and deciding upon something to read. But Guy Gavriel Kay has changed my opinion regarding fantasy novels, and I think it was probably because the books that were recommended to me by friends, etc, were just not geared to pique my interest. This trilogy by Gavriel Kay did, in a big, big way. I loved it! Without giving anything away, it is about 5 twenty something Canadian college student's who end up in the land of Fionavar. There are elements of Greek mythology, and folklore, and stories/plays - classics. There are elements of the Arthurian Legend, and British Isles mythology, and folklore. Also, there is the thread of good vs evil, light vs dark, and religion. Having never read anything by J. R. R. Tolkien (but having watched the movies), I can still see his influence upon Gavriel Kay in some of the themes of these novels. Gavriel Kay also respected and was influenced by one of my favorite authors of all time, Dorothy Dunnett, and I can see her influence in his books as well. The atmosphere, and the characterization are really well done in my opinion. I don't know what else to say except read these novels, the story that unfolds is just wonderful!
