A review by daumari
River of Stars by Guy Gavriel Kay

5.0

I'm not familiar with Chinese history, let alone the dynamics of each dynasty, so I'm not aware of how close to the actual Song dynasty RoS goes. However, Kay's masterful prose and use of a long historical perspective (events in the novel are periodically referenced as being elaborated by historians or argued over cups of wine by students) make for a compelling narrative.
