The Darkest Road by Guy Gavriel Kay
5.0
Πενταρι γεμάτο και μεγάλο όσο και το Δάσος του Πενταραν.
With this book the Fionavar Tapestry ends. I have read many series and most of them do not have a worthy end. Fionavar definately has one. The Darkest Road, in similar way with the previous 2 books, is full of strong scenes, beautifuly written. Ι dont want to spoil things but there are some passages that are now curved in me. The incredible duel and its aftermath that takes place before the final battle. Probably the best and most epic duel I have read in fiction. Galadan and the horn. The departure of a certain Lios Alfar. The lonely and insane journey of Darien. Finn. Paul and Jaelle. The divine presences. So many things. This world is full of beauty, strong fates, responsibilities, duties, pain, sorrow, sacrifices and absolutions.
It was the closest I have read to Middle Earth and Silmarillion and that says a lot for me. Its not for people who are bored of this kind of romantic idealistic epic fantasy. But If you feel a longing and a nostalgia for that kind of books then Fionavar is the perfect place for you!
