Sorry, Tolkien fans: I think that the Fionavar Tapestry is just as good as the Lord of the Rings. It's a stunning tale of good vs. evil.

The books are
- The Summer Tree,
- The Wandering Fire, and
- The Darkest Road.

This is an omnibus edition (1995) of Kay's three Fionavar novels, available only in Canada.

Here's a good review: http://www.revolutionsf.com/article/22.html: "Guy Gavriel Kay's The Fionavar Tapestry Trilogy stands out as one of the most passionately written, richly mythical and beautiful epic works in fantasy literature. Some have likened Kay's work to that of the great J.R.R. Tolkien himself. Throughout these novels, stories and myths weave themselves seamlessly, painting a thrilling triptych of self-discovery, loss and triumph"
