River of Stars by Guy Gavriel Kay

5.0
A beautifully told story, sensuous writing, characters that come alive. Written of the time when poetry and art were adored as much as the mandate of heaven.
I digress. Kay is my author, the one who I would read if he only had Kleenex to write on.
This book takes place 400 years after Under Heaven. The the world has become more complicated, invasion is imminent and yet it seems as though preparation is not happening. The army has fallen apart and only one man sees the future. Filled with mythology of the Far East and did I mention the beautiful writing?
Anything else I would try to say would only be gushing
