Guy Gavriel KayGavin BakerAh. @TexasHudson (shy in public) just reminded me via DM that Guy Gavriel Kay helped write the Silmarillion; one reason why the prose is so beautiful. Last Light of the Sun, Tigana and Under Heaven are my favorites. @patrick_oshag if you haven't read, these are *excellent*
