Just when I was beginning to feel that I'd be overwhelmed by the many characters and their seemingly independent story lines, the author started weaving them together, masterfully.

I think every GGK novel has a reference, even if only 1 word, or an allusion, to Fionavar. I just finished reading Children of Earth and Sky, and it is incredible. Could not find a Fionavar reference though. Anyone..........?

Marty Preslar There is a veiled reference to there being more than one world, but Fionavar is not mentioned directly as far as I could see.
