Now on the one hand, there is little in the way of good fantasy with an oriental setting, so perhaps we should not complain another fine Kay novel in that setting. On the other hand I cannot deny that I was also hoping that he would move on to a new setting for the next book. There are not many Kay novels, once every 3 years, so you always hope you will get the settinbg you hope for, because the story and characters are generally sound anyway. I agree that this setting is not top of the list for me, and apparently not for some others either from what I have seen at forums. And yet, this could be another really excellent book, I do love the Mongol plainsmen vs Chinese Imperials vibe that this book clearly has.<br /><br />CalibandarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-41603182909420930512012-07-18T14:20:57.690+01:002012-07-18T14:20:57.690+01:00Then we shall be partners in unpopular opinions, a...Then we shall be partners in unpopular opinions, and take heart in that. :)<br /><br />What's your favourite Guy Gavriel Kay, anyway?
