A review by peter_xxx
Lord of Emperors by Guy Gavriel Kay

4.0

Again a great Guy Gavriel Kay book. As in part 1 this book is also about what art is but also what legacy is and how legacy and reality can be very different. There are also quite some scenes in this book that are viewing the same events from different angles to really showcase that the importance or the recollection of an event is a lot more in the beholder then in the actual event.

All these themes are wrapped in a nice political historic novel with some very slight fantasy elements. And like every Guy Gavriel Kay book of course with beautiful and thoughtful prose.
