TrackingWriters <[Brennen]> Stephen [http://www.sarahandstephen.com/stephen/C1995224647/E1395600444/index.html thinks GGK is slipping]. I read ''The Last Light of the Sun'' about a month ago and have to admit it's probably the weakest of Kay's not-quite-historical novels (or romances) since ''A Song for Arbonne''. On the other hand, I wouldn't call it a failure. It contained some beautiful writing and at least one really cool narrative trick. From a lesser author, I would have been favorably impressed. And if we're mapping some kind of trajectory for Kay's writing, well, his last two - the ''SarantineMosaic'' duology - are the most impressive things he's ever written.
