People sleep on Fionavar. It’s definitely doing its own thing vs Kay’s other work, and the influences are clear, but what an all cylinders heavy metal album cover project

Max, we have GOT to talk about Fionavar sometime - such a deeply formative text for me.

I love almost all of Kay's books, but the Fionavar Tapestry will always be so important to me. (Entirely by coincidence, I'm reading A Brightness Long Ago this very day!)

I’ll be over here in formative middle school reading for me

There are so many Fionavar moments that are chills for me and most of them involve Arthur and/or Cavall

Fionavar was my introduction to Kay, and still my favorite. I love it so much

I mean, the concept of Fionavar is shot through all of his other novels - sometimes more explicitly than others.
