Reviews
An absolutely astonishing novel about poetry, and war, and what it means to be human, by our greatest living writer of the fantastic. Written on the Dark shines with its own unearthly light: Guy Gavriel Kay has given us, quite simply, a masterpiece * J.M. Miro, international bestselling author of Ordinary Monsters and Bringer of Dust *
Kay is a genius. I've read him all my life and am always inspired by his work * Brandon Sanderson, #1 New York Times bestselling author *
Guy Gavriel Kay has a wonderful talent. He tells stories in an invented world that is so rich in historical echoes that I found myself smiling with pleasure as I heard the echoes, while engrossed in the story. Warmly recommended * Edward Rutherfurd, New York Times bestselling author of Sarum *
Tragic, stirring, romantic, meticulous, comic, rueful, worldly-wise, and written in the intimate, deceptively nonchalant voice of a storyteller offering up his great gift, All the Seas of the World is classic Kay, and to his reader, at least, there can be no higher praise * Michael Chabon, Pulitzer prize-winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and CLay *
As with any Kay book, there is beauty of language and intelligent observations. This is a book to be savoured . . . This is a book that I will continue to think about for days to come * Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling author of The Farseer Trilogy *
In addition to being a profound meditation on history, identity, and the human condition, this novel stands as a testament to Kay's unparalleled storytelling * Library Journal *
A tale that combines intrigue, mystery, mysticism and romance in one satisfying feast. . . . Will appeal as much to those who enjoy historical novels as to those who love fantasy. It is all so deftly done! * Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling author of Fool's Assassin *
