River of stars guy gavriel kay6/22/2023 ![]() River of Stars has the same setting as Under Heaven – the courtly empire of Kitai – although it isn’t exactly a sequel, taking place three dynasties and four hundred years later, when Kitai is a more circumscribed and more paranoid state than it was when last we saw it. Looking on the bright side, this means that we Britishers get double the excitement of the release, first in e-book form and then in hard copy. ![]() ![]() Hard copies of the book haven’t yet been released in the UK – the British release date is in the summer – but Harper Collins have compassionately made the e-book available at the same time as those in other territories, so that we don’t all go completely mad. This means, however, that River of Stars is the first book that Kay has released since I became an aficionado and the anticipation has been almost unbearable. In that time I’ve devoured several of them and two shot immediately to the top of my ‘favourites’ list. ![]() Looking back now, it’s hard to believe that I only became aware of Guy Gavriel Kay’s books two years ago. ![]()
