The Wandering Fire by Guy Gavriel Kay

Synopsis
The second volume in Guy Gavriel Kay’s stunning fantasy masterwork, now reissued with the beautiful original cover art by Martin Springett. As the evil of Rakoth Maugrim threatens the very existence of Fionavar, the five from our own world must cross over once again to play out their given roles: Kimberly to summon the dead from their rest and the undead to their doom; Dave to take his place in battle among the Dalrei of the Plain; Paul, Lord of the Summer Tree, once more to weave his own bright thread through the tapestry; Jennifer to become the agent of a timeless destiny; and Kevin to discover finally the part he is to play in the struggle to save the Weaver’s worlds from the Unraveller. Guy Gavriel Kay’s classic epic fantasy plays out on a truly grand scale, and has already been delighting fans of imaginative fiction for twenty years.

The second in the trilogy i thought was as good as the first and i read it, couldn’t put it down, and finished in the space of days. Another great book, well written and just as enticing as the first. By bringing in many different mythological creatures and character Kay adds to the plot another dynamic and interesting element. The sacrifice of one of the main characters is quite a surprise, but it provides an opening for the story to progress further.
