Under Heaven (Under Heaven #1) by Guy Gavriel Kay
*Audiobook Review*
Cinematic and sweeping, this fantasy-tinged story had exciting martial arts battles, tension filled political machinations, a smattering of romance, a butt kicking female warrior, a wolf spirit, and too many other cool things to mention. The fantasy elements were subtle, the drama believable.
After all, when a man goes to honor the memory of his father by burying the bones of the dead, and a princess naturally gifts him with the unheard of sum of 250 truly priceless horses, the task of staying alive becomes pure drama. Assassins, protectors. Love, hate. Family, enemies. Trust, betrayal.
This audiobook was really quite enjoyable.
