1. Last Light of the Sun- it's a "sparer" style than Kay's other books, and I think that works well with the setting. Plus it's smaller in scope than most of Kay's books, and the most melancholy. 2. The Sarantine Mosiac novels. I loved the juxtaposition between the sophisticated court and the more pagan aspects of the fringes of the empire 3. Under Heaven This was an absolutely gorgeously written novel 4. A Song For Arbonne 5.Tigana There are problems with this novel, but IMO it has the most memorable characters of all of Kay's works Those are the first five. Of the next four, I'd say that they are all worth reading but Ysabel. I wouldn't reread Lions, but I'm glad that I gave it a shot. 6. A River Of Stars 7. Fionavar Tapestry. These are very simple books, they have a YA feel to them 8. Lions- I just didn't enjoy this book. Neither the characters nor the plot ever grabbed me. Ysabel- I didn't finish this one. I can't believe that Kay even wrote it. Melanie
