Reply #7: I've just discovered Guy Gavriel Kay.

I read the first volume of his "Fionavar Tapesty" series just recently. It took me a little while
to get into it, but by the middle of the book I was totally involved with the characters. Sadly for
me, my library only has the first book of the three in the series, and although I put a request for
the others in the suggestion box, they haven't taken it up. As they're not released in Australia,
I'll have to put in an order to Amazon if I want to complete the series. The library does have some
other books by him, and I have them on my list.

I recommend checking him out if you haven't read him before.
