That made me laugh thank you. :laugh: Even though I loved, loved Lions. I cant' agree more. Rivers of Stars, Kay's latest book, has been on my desk for a few weeks now, I'm waiting for the right time, the right mood before I start reading it. I consider any book by GGK a special treat and I don't want to waste it.

Astra: This is the second time I read this nonsense about Kay's Lions. It was probably you the first time. I suspect you have a problem SPOILER: Lions "with a certain group of people belonging to a certain religion".To believe Kay writes to please or to avoid angering some religious groups only shows how little you have understood his books. The same goes for your inability to "fathom how Kay won the 2005 award from the Israeli Society for Science Fiction and Fantasy for The Lions of Al-Rassan. Israeli readers chose a wonderful book, a book they enjoyed reading. Full stop. To Ran: it seems we have read the same book.

[Pre-ADwD Spoilers] Jon 3 but actually Jon 1
automne replied to LugaJetboyGirl's topic in Pre-ADwD Archive
Thank you Mr Martin and thank you LugaJetBoyGirl. What an amazing chapter! Jon has always been one of my favorite characters and it's great to see how he's maturing. Honorable Ned's bastard son has to come to terms with his upbringing, his terrible loss and his present responsibilities as the LC, no wonder he's becoming a greyer person. -
You might read Ysabel as well. I enjoyed reading about places I know in Aix and its region in a fantasy book by one of my favourite writers.

I'm happy I didn't start with The Fionavar Tapestry. If I had, I doubt I'd have read another book by G.G. Kay and I'd have missed out on one of my favourite novels which is The Lions of Al-Rassan.
