Decent historic fiction of Christian and Muslim culture as I'm sure many more exist. It's a gripping and comfortable read. Some real histories of the period may be preferable but Kay did manage to rouse my interest.
Too comfortable a read for me, though. Everything fits perfectly together and there is closure for everybody. The loss that is suffered hits home slightly, but at some point towards the end where the book should have started.
I've wandered farther and farther away from SF because the literary bars the genre sets for itself are so dismally low. Such richness in ideas combined with such poverty of execution really is a shame.
His Tigana and Sarantine Mosaic are better.
