5.0 out of 5 stars Intricate, Intriguing, Compelling, November 15, 2004
If the only fiction writing you can enjoy is a Tolkien knock-off, then don't buy this book. On the other hand, if you love a little intrigue, brilliant and witty conversations, fully developed characters with complex motivations, and if you have any interest in history and the royal courts of the past, then this is the book/series for you.

I love the way his characters grow and develop over the course of the book. I love the fact that there isn't a single stock-character to be found. I adored the main characters. I thrilled at every brilliant plot-twist.

Oh, and if you loved the charriot scene in the movie Ben Hur, you will be totally blown away by the race he describes here. I'll say no more. This is one of the fantastic moments in the book that simply can not be given away.

Guy Gavriel Kay has done a fantastic job of creating a whole new genre of fictional writing. His unique blend of actual historical elements, magic, gods, and fantasy along with his intricate plots and fascinating characters are a refreshing change from the formulaic fantasy novels and poor writing skills that clog our bookstore shelves these days.

This book is worth every penny. It is a treasure to be read and re-read.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, December 17, 2008
This is a lovely book to curl up with on a long weekend...the plot is wonderfully intricate, the people full fleshed and believable. My only regret is that it is too short. Of course, that leads you to the next book in the series but oh! what delight. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants an elegant, hugely delightful read.

4.0 out of 5 stars It is not the destination, but the journey...., February 18, 2004
I find with each book Kay writes, he becomes even more brilliant. While the Sarantine Mosaic Duology may not be for everyone, it is for those who enjoy beautifully developed characterization and cleverly woven storylines. Sailing to Sarantium is a wonderful beginning to the tale; I would suggest buying it and Lord of Emperors together, so the anticipation of the second book will not eat away at you while you wait for it ship.
