Book 57

Book 57 was The Last Light of the Sun by Guy Gavriel Kay. It's a historical fantasy-meaning the book is set during a recognizable period of history, but it's in an imaginary world with magic and such.

This book is set during Viking times, and deals with their raids on the British coast. The story line is vast and complex, following multiple characters in various locations. The story flows so smoothly that the switch from place to place and person to person isn't jarring at all. All of the characters are well written and complex, with equal attention paid to both female and male characters. Kay is a wonderful writer, and the book reads so wonderfully at times it's hard to believe that the people aren't real. A solid story with beautiful prose and no plot holes-a great read.
