Kay’s Peninsula of the Palm is a land rich in history and culture, but Kay - obviously a lover of history - never bludgeons the reader with it, instead planting seeds early on, cultivating them carefully, and revealing them only at the most dramatic moment. It is common to speak of fantasy stories as transporting the reader to a different world, or at least to a different time, and you would struggle to find another writer whose books approach this ideal any more closely. That Kay is one of the most skilled writers of prose and most artful storytellers we have in our genre cannot reasonably be doubted. Feel free to give me constructive criticism on it, so that if I do decide to do more reviews in the future, they can be better. This is the first book review I've written since, I dunno, middle school, but I was so struck by this book that I just couldn't get it out of my head.
