Lyonesse

This was a tough book to like, but in the end, I did like it. It's the first book in a sprawling fantasy trilogy that takes place on an imaginary isle south of the British Isles, west of France, and north of Spain. The isle is made up of about ten kingdoms, all vying for a return to a single kingdom. It has many plotlines and characters, making it occasionally a little difficult to keep up with. I'd say it's somewhere between "Lord of the Rings" and "A Game of Thrones" in its hugeness. I read this book because the third book in the trilogy won the WFA, of which I am reading all the winners. It took me a while to get through its denseness, but I think it paid off in the end.
