4.0 out of 5 stars The plot thickens! ( b-o.jonsson@hotmail.com), 1 Dec 2004
By B. Jonsson "Literate Warlock" (falun, dalarna sweden) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
A sequel to The Summer Tree, this book continues the struggles of the cursed lands of Fionavar, where Maugrim's hordes chase all living things, trying to unravel the tapestry, to undo creation as they know it. The giants are attacked and killed by their hundreds, being creatures of peace and not finding it in their heart to save themselves, The Great Hunt ( a loan from Keltic lore) is summoned when it seems a fight is nearly lost, but he wild magic cannot be commanded and it brings destruction to all it encounters. A son leaves his mother to meet his winged companion and kin spirit, a unicorn and they fight fiercely together, ever diminishing the boy's powers..
Two of the worlds most famous fighters are brought into the world, Lancelot and Arthur. With them they bring Guinevere and the treachery and sad stories of old.
Together they unite against maugrim, but is it enough?

I read the book as spellbound and regard it as very good Fantasy! Kay continues to weave the tapestry more intricate by the page and creates a marvellous story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complex and interesting fantasy with many folklore themes, 3 Jul 2003
By Simon Brooke (Auchencairn, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Middle part of sub-Tolkien Holiday from Amerika trilogy, notable for interesting use material from teutonic and celtic myth, including sacrifice of young man to the sexual aspect of the Goddess. Also interesting use of the Wild Hunt, and integration of Matter of Britain material. What makes me think he was brought up on The Wierdstone of Brisingamen? Could it be because all the themes of that book are here in spades?

This, together with the rest of the Fionavar trilogy, is good, interesting and complex fantasy, but nothing like as good as Kay's later work, such as Tigana.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, 13 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wandering Fire (Fionavar Tapestry) (Paperback)
Quite simply, Guy Gavriel Kay is the best fantasy author around. Even in this, one of his earlier books, he is capable of injecting more reality than any other author. He writes complex characters who have believable motives - never the 2-dimensional puppets that occur in a lot of modern fantasy. He writes with poetry and passion and makes you care for his characters - nothing more could be asked of an author
