The Elder Isles, located in what is now the Bay of Biscay off the coast of Old Gaul, are made up of 10 contending kingdoms, all vying with each other for control. At the centre of much of the intrigue is Casmir, the ruthless and ambitious king of Lyonnesse. His beautiful but otherworldly daughter, Suldrun, is part of his plans. He intends to cement an alliance or two by marrying her well. But Suldrun is as determined as he and defies him. Casmir coldly confines her to the overgrown garden that she loves to frequent, and it is here that meets her love and her tragedy unfolds. Political intrigue, magic, war, adventure and romance are interwoven in a rich and sweeping tale set in a brilliantly realized fabled land.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“(Vance) gives you glimpses of entire worlds with just perfectly turned language. If he’d been born south of the border, he’d be up for a Nobel Prize.” (Dan Simmons)
“Vance has the narrative force, the willingness to look very coldly at violence and cruelty, to not shy away…. He has an amazing ear and writes a beautiful sentence.” (Michael Chabon)
Rich Descriptions • Complex Characters • Wonderful Reader • Engaging Plot • Beautiful Language • Masterful Storytelling

It starts off a little slow but give it a chance. It turns inti the most engaging story and series Ive ever read. A few adult situations but this is basically an adult fairy-tale. If you miss this you will miss out on one of the best novels and series' to be written in the fantasy genre.

Best book Ive ever read

I was expecting spending like Dying Earth, which would have been good. But this takes that writing style and dry wit and applies it to a much grander story with more complex characters and a more relatable (at least in a historical sense) world.

This entire series far exceeded my expectations.

Vance was a master storyteller, and this is one of the best stories he told. It is filled with fairies, magicians, knights, villains, kings, war, love, hate, birth, death, anguish and triumph. Mix The Count of Monte Cristo with Grimm's Fairy Tales and you have some of the flavor of the book.

Vance's language is lackadaisically descriptive, and he takes his time to build situations and events, but once the stage is set the play that follows will have you on the edge of your seat.

This is a great introduction to Vance.

A masterpiece by a master

Not sure what the complaints about the narrator are all about. I found him to be a fine talent and enjoyed the performance a great deal. I loved the writing and the form in which the story was told. Vance is a master.

Great Story

I am 65 years old.When I was about 13 I discovered science Fiction outside of comic books.It was a novelette in GALAXY Science Fiction magazine by Jack Vance entitled THE DRAGON MASTERS which had just won the Hugo and [I think] Nebula awards.
I was hooked on both Jack Vance and Science Fiction.To this day Jack Vance is one of my favorites.WORDSMITH comes to mind.Not only does he create worlds,characters,civilizations and concepts as good as any of the genre,he's different.No Sci-Fi/Fantasy author writes quite like Vance.Lyonesse is of course fantasy.It's kind of like reading a Grimm's Faerie tale/Lord of the Rings with a touch of Edgar Allen Poe and a dash of H.P.Lovecraft.This is his most ambitious work and it does not disappoint .However don't rule out reading his other books.I suggest you start with THE DRAGON MASTERS.

SCI-FI/FANTASY WRITER LIKE NO OTHER

I found this book to be full of detail.
Quite boring, hard to keep your interest up to continue. Gets better toward the end. Not sure if it is worth reading the next book.

Well Detailed ,but boring

Great work from the great Jack Vance! Reminds me a lot of the Dying Earth, but this time in legendary Arthurian Britain.
Here you will find Vancian typical characters (i.e. rascals with civility of lords) and the colorful imagery and depictions which are the late Master’s trademarks.
Another common trait with other Vancian novels is the pace, that varies greatly and arbitrarily throughout the book, from the sluggish beginning to bounces and leaps later on.
Just waiting for next month to hear the follow up, “Green Pearl”!

Another Vance masterpiece!
