A review by bookpanther
The Summer Tree by Guy Gavriel Kay

1.0

1.5 stars. This book is really fucking bad. The only aspect that I enjoyed was the lush writing. The plot, characters, and world-building were lackluster and often left me questioning the logic behind certain parts. The character development was especially unbalanced, with Paul getting the most and Jennifer getting absolutely nothing. And Diarmuid, for fucks sake. Is he supposed to be a likable character? Because, he is the most obnoxious piece-of-shit of a character I have ever come across in a book. I haven't read much GGK, but this wasn't my first, so I was pretty surprised about how this one turned out. I have the omnibus version, so I'll probably still continue on with the series eventually. Hopefully, the next one will be better.
