About this listen

The internationally best-selling fantasy novels of Guy Gavriel Kay have won the author numerous awards and immense critical acclaim. Ysabel is a contemporary fantasy that centers on the Saint-Sauveur Cathedral of Aix-en-Provence, where a 15-year-old boy accompanies his father on a photo shoot. Befriending a whip-smart American girl and confronting a knife-wielding maniac, the boy finds that the ancient site shimmers with mysteries of fantastical design.

I love this author usually, and the narrator was very good. I found that the whole story seemed to be about the place rather than the characters, which given two of the characters were from a previous story which I adored, it is unusual that I found this book quite grey. Mr Gavriel’s usual rich tapestry seemed muted, and I felt it was like listening to a tour book on Provence rather than a tale of growing up and discovery.
