I have always been a fan of the late Jack Vance’s science fiction but for the most part I have not been a fan of pure fantasy. During my 5 days in the hospital I read Vance’s entire Lyonesse trilogy on my Kindle. It truly qualifies as pure fantasy. Although the print edition is out of print it has been Kindled (did I just create a verb?). It is about a mythical island off the west coast of Europe. There are mythical beings like trolls and faireys. There is also human politics and war. There is also heartbreak and love. There are good people and bad ones. Lots of Magic and magicians not mention unicorns. A thoroughly enjoyable reading experience.
