I cannot write reviews. Not in my first language and definitely not in English.
I either like a book or not. What else is there to say? Why I like it? Dunno. It was interesting to read.

Two very short sentences (albeit contradicting (contradiction is in italic) ):

Tigana (read in 2002)
Quote:
I liked the book very much. Tigana is one of my favourite fantasy books. I believe that one volume fantasy usually are unsuccessful but Tigana proves opposite. I liked the story line, the subtle magic of the world and the history. I would recommend it to anyone who likes good fantasy. I think it is the best book by G.G. Kay.
The Last Light of the Sun (read in 2006)
Quote:
One of the best fantasy books. It is better than Tigana imho. Tigana was sort of epic fantasy with wizards, etc. This one is a dark fantasy reminding me of Black Company by Glen Cook but in some ways it is even better. I am not very good at reviews, so I can only say that I really really liked the book. I would most definitely recommend this one. Love, death, heroes, loyalty, battles, ugliness of the war, unpredictable events and mystery. I am stunned. I never expected so much from a single volume fantasy work. 10 out of 10 without a cloud of doubt. The only slight drawback is a missing map.
