Summary
The internationally best-selling fantasy novels of Guy Gavriel Kay have won the author numerous awards and immense critical acclaim. Ysabel is a contemporary fantasy that centers on the Saint-Sauveur Cathedral of Aix-en-Provence, where a 15-year-old boy accompanies his father on a photo shoot. Befriending a whip-smart American girl and confronting a knife-wielding maniac, the boy finds that the ancient site shimmers with mysteries of fantastical design.

one of the best books I listened to recently
absolutely loved the story set in Provance. Didn't know what to expect and was fully surprised with the magical/historical twist. Great characters and excellent story

A real drag
I got bored 2 chapters in. This book is trying to do too many things. Just about finished it, but it did not get better.

thoroughly enjoyable
Another brilliant novel by Guy Gavriel, thought through story line, carefully crafted characters and link to his other piece. Excellent narration.

Engaging and different
I really enjoyed this story and it lives up fully to the description. This take on fantasy successfully crafts a true feel of magic within the Provence countryside by including local history and culture to pull the reader in. As someone who lived in Aix en Provence for a year, I can verify the accuracy of place and genuinely say that I did feel returned to the streets of Aix whilst reading.
My only bugbear is with the narrator who does not pronounce ‘Aix’ correctly. (She annunciates it as ‘Ayyx’, emphasising the A sound instead of the correct form used by all locals: ‘Ex’).
