Jim Rion reviewed The wandering fire by Guy Gavriel Kay (The Fionavar tapestry ;)
Review of 'The wandering fire' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The follow-up to The Summer Tree continues the weaving begun so beautifully in the first book, and indeed soothes some (not all) of the concerns at the portal-world trappings of the book by connecting the "real world" to Fionavar more directly, thus offering some stronger reasons behind the transport of the five characters.
This book also cranks the heartbreak up, as the pain of the first book is bound tighter into the weave, and the losses become more permanent, and more unexpected. There is real pain here, but Kay makes sure to leaven it with love and joy, and above all with striving against a Darkness that seems beyond defeat.
A worthy sequel, indeed.
