As I write, invariably I encounter more questions and answer those as I go.

Guy Gavriel Kays Tigana is, in my opinion, one of the best, if not the best fantasy novel ever written. Its beautifully written, the characters are unforgettable, the worldbuilding is exquisite.

I love magic and playing with magic systems. But to me, good fantasy like all fiction comes down to good character and plotting.

Guy Kay is probably my favorite and the writer I most want to emulate.
