I just finished reading Guy Gavriel Kay's "Under Heaven."
This book is poetry. Reading it, you are constantly struck by the language, by the story. I don't know how describe it adequately; I don't have the words for it.
Guy Gavriel Kay writes writes stories that are woven in and out of history. The books are almost fantasy, almost real. "Under Heaven" occurs in a place much like Tang-era China, and the cultures that you encounter in the story are one of the reasons why it is so interesting.
I have a passle of other books that I've read and need to write up here, but this one was special, and it got it's own post.
I give "Under Heaven" a rating of Amazing/10.
