Praise for The Fionovar Tapestry
"Kay has delivered such a magnificent...volume that I can't praise it enough. The Fionavar Tapestry is a work that will be read for many years to come. It is a book that makes one proud to be working in the same genre as its author."--Charles de Lint
"I'm overwhelmed...
The Summer Tree is one of those books that change your perception of the world forever afterward."--Marion Zimmer Bradley
"A remarkable achievement...the essence of high fantasy."--
Locus "Kay's intricate Celtic background will please fantasy buffs...in the manner of
The Silmarillion, the posthumous Tolkien work that Kay helped edit."--
Publishers Weekly
"Immense scale, literary richness and dazzling heroes."--
Toronto Star "Certainly this is one of the very best of the fantasies which have appeared since Tolkien, and I trust it will be recognized as such."--Andre Norton
"This is the only fantasy work I know which does not suffer by comparison to
The Lord of the Rings."--
Interzone "Can be compared only with Tolkien's masterpiece. A passionate battle between good and evil...it delights the spirit."--
Star-Phoenix
"Satisfying...a highly literate, lovingly detailed work of fantasy."--
Fantasy Review "Kay's bestselling--and stunning--fantasy trilogy finds its power not in its feats of imagination or world-building (though there are dazzling heapings of both) but from its rootedness in the reality of human emotions and relationships."--
The Globe and Mail "A grand galloping narrative...reverberates with centuries of mythic and incantory implications--with a little Prince Hal and Falstaff on the side."--
Christian Science Monitor "
The Fionavar Tapestry, when all is said and done, is one of the most beautifully written and moving fantasy trilogies ever written. Those are very large words, but I truly believe this book is large enough to fit into such a reputation."--Green Man Review
