Summary
The award-winning historical fantasies of Guy Gavriel Kay have earned him international best seller status and placed his books atop his fans' must-have lists.
Under Heaven takes listeners to Tang dynasty China, where the son of an honored general has received an unheard of gift: 250 Sardian horses. But this is a prize men would, and will, kill for.
"History and fantasy rarely come together as gracefully as they do in the novels of Guy Gavriel Kay." (Washington Post Book World)

A sumptuous tale of time and dynasty
Just an amazing book. A tale that takes its time but builds an entire world through the gentle trading of lives through their own soaring stories and intersecting pathways.

Nice story, did drag on a bit
An enjoyable story in a classic Chinese style. Flowery language and lots of detail, but great action too
Just seem to drag on a little bit too much.

Great book, bad ending
I really enjoyed this book, I love the author and the narration was great, but now that it's done I have to say the ending has left me underwhelmed. The ending just felt so rushed.
The whole book feels like it's building and building towards a climax then it hits you with an epilogue that gives you a brief summary of how it all went. It could have been ten chapters longer.
