A Song For Arbonne is simply one of the best books I have ever read.

Because of you, I'm about to read my very first GGK novel, the Lions of Al-Rassan. Thank you for these videos.

Sometimes the YouTube algorithm for recommendations does a damn good job: I stumbled across this channel (to date completely unnoticed by me) only through curiosity and a YT recommendation. And here I am, with subscription and alert activated! Came for GGK, stayed for the soothing voice and the content (-;
Jokes aside: This video was most helpful. GGK has been my favorite author (maybe along with William Horwood) for a very long time. Unfortunately, most of his books are out of print in Germany (and none of them except "Under Heaven" are available as German ebooks).

I hadn’t read a book in years and then in the summer of 2012 I read Under Heaven… mainly because I thought they cover looked cool (it’s a black cover with a sword). It brought the joy of reading again and I went from that to Al-Rassan and then most of his other books. I def agree Al-Rassan is his best work and still my fav book. Under Heaven though is a close second for me and holds a special place in my heart for introducing Kay and helping me read again.

I have read The Lions of Al-Rassan four times now.  Each time, at the end, I have been openly crying.  He is that powerful of a writer.

I found your channel today and saw most videos. Your work is really great. Thank you so much. The Videos about Thomas Covenant, Alcatraz and GGK are amazing (so much Information in short time and high quality format). Please continue your wonderful reviews.

Kay is incredible, I discovered him way back in 1985 and I haven’t skip one of his books since

Kay is one of my favourite writers! My favourite novel of his is Lions of Al-Rassan

Kay is such a wonderful writer, I love to savour his prose and will re read passages because it is so emotionally evocative. I read Tigana first, but find it hard to choose a favourite as each book is so thoroughly immersive. I agree with your rankings.

There's no way you aren't a museum voice narrator. That voice! Also, thanks for the content. I've read Tigana and Lions and you've convinced me to read Arbonne as my next.

One of the greatest living writers. should be taught in schools.

Thanks for the tier list! So far I am almost through Lord of Emperors and it's heartbreaking. I do agree it's amazing but man does it pack a punch.

Wow, I stumbled across this channel…somehow, and totally agree with your assessment of Kay as the greatest living fantasy author. My brother and I have often had the conversation about his lack of awards. It’s stunning to me really.

Love that you ranked his books for new readers. My ranking would be slightly different, but as you said, the differences, especially in the top two tiers is minimal. The one big difference I would had is with River of Stars. I think this is his masterpiece. I love the narrative changes he made over his other works. I’ve read this one more than any other, except maybe Lions (which is how I discovered Kay).

You have a new subscriber, and I’ll be sharing these videos around my circle!

Update: just finished  Tigana Incomparable prose.
Dionora’s story was  some of the most gorgeous prose I’ve read. Magnificent 🐾

This was such a wonderfully enjoyable video to watch.

I have been going through Kay's works and just finished Lord of Emperors a couple days ago and it blew me away, such a profoundly beautiful story.

For the ones I have read I am almost in complete agreement, although I think I slightly preferred Tigana to A Song For Arbonne, despite being less even, I thought the highs were slightly more impactful.

I can also totally relate to feeling like you are tearing apart Fionavar while still thinking it is very good.

Just finished A Song for Arbonne , 😭there’s a an unexpected bittersweetness  in the last few pages,
Wish he would’ve written a follow up story.
Also felt  a deep connection to majority of characters, and agreed, he’s  an under appreciated writer.thank you again!

Your voice and background music are five star, my guy.

Thank goodness for your recommendation...how I missed Guy Kay in a lifetime of fantasy reading I'll never know but I was beginning to worry that I had read all the good fantasy books!

why i needed to watch 3 videos before i subscribed is something i don't understand. your videos are very good, thanks!
