About this listen

Two-time Aurora Award-winning author Guy Gavriel Kay has been nominated for the World Fantasy Award three times.

In the first book of his Fionavar Tapestry series, five college students meet a wizard who takes them to the heart of the first of all worlds - a place called Fionavar. The students soon discover that they have been pre-ordained as part of the pattern called the Fionavar Tapestry - and if they don't fulfill their destinies, the world will suffer devastating consequences.

This is a great book but it’s not one you can wander about listening to whilst doing other tasks. If you don’t concentrate you will loose what going on. I’m about to start the second one, I shall see how it goes.

Great story but you have to concentrate and pay attention

A beautiful story that I first read many years ago, performed superbly by Simon Vance.

Wonderful.

I am in awe of Guy Gavriel Kay and in what he does in this trilogy. I loved the story, characters, and the pacing. Not so much the narrator of this audiobook.

Love the story, not so much the narrator

I always loved this trilogy and i am glad for the new, much clearer narration.
Would have liked it if the narrator was a tad slower but overall a great experience!

A spectacular fantasy in Tolkien’s footsteps

After reading Lord of the Rings as a teenager and being totally encapsulated by it, I was thirsty for stories of the same ilk. The Summer Tree certainly more than achieved that. Loved this book as a teen. Now hearing it read brilliantly by Simon Vance the story comes alive once again. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended.

Rekindled teenage memories.
