It all began with a lecture that introduced five university students to a man who would change their lives, a wizard who could take them from Earth to the heart of the first of all worlds--Fionavar. And take them Loren Silvercloak did, for his need--the need of Fionavar and all the worlds--was great indeed.
And in a marvelous land of men and dwarves, of wizards and gods--and of the Unraveller and his minions of Darkness--Kimberly, Dave, Jennifer, Kevin, and Paul discovered who they were truly meant to be. For the five were a long-awaited part of the pattern known as the Fionavar Tapestry, and only if they accepted their destiny would the armies of the Light stand any chance of surviving when the Unraveller unleashed his wrath upon the world.

I really enjoyed this book more than I thought I was going to. For some reason I had a mental block against reading any of Kay's work but I picked this up at the UBS and gave it a try.
I found the prose to be very engaging and the story to keep me very interested. It was interesting to read this after having read Gaiman's American Gods since some parts reminded me of certain scenes in that book. (Those of you who have read both may understand what I refer to.) It also reminded me of Edding's Belgariad series which I enjoyed as well. I wish someone had told me how great Kay's writing was, I would have picked him up sooner.
