Just finished River of Stars and it's another great reading experience! :) Second only to Tigana and Under Heaven, in this house at least! Patrick

Almost done with River of Stars and it's another very good read from Kay! :) And I have a copy up for grabs on the Hotlist if anyone's interested! Patrick

Other than the mention of ghosts, nothing supernatural thus far (125 pages into it). There are mentions of the steppe people, yet no "air time" with them up until this point. . . Patrick

Reading it right now and it's good! :) Too early to say whether or not it will be as good as Under Heaven. . . My ARC is 636 pages long and the Canadian edition will be (according to the ARC) 640 pages long. Patrick

I'll be posting this on the blog later today: Jack Whyte will be in Montreal, Canada on November 18th at 10:00am, while Guy Gavriel Kay will be here on the 25th. The event is called Books and Breakfast, and it's organized by Paragraphe Bookshop. Tickets are about 30$, but the authors will only sign books bought at the bookshop or on the premise. For more info, you can call (514) 845-5811. Cheers, Patrick

It's not chick lit! I agree with everything else Stranger said, however. I'd put Tigana as my favorite Kay novel, and it's also one of my favorite fantasy books ever. Methinks everyone should read Guy Gavriel Kay and that's that! Patrick
