Children of Earth and Sky

Small things make a difference in Guy Gavriel Kay’s rich saga

Children of Earth and Sky follow about a thousand years after Kay’s The Sarantine Mosaic

The line comes late in Guy Gavriel Kay’s stunning new novelChildren of Earth and Sky, but its presence resonates not just through the book, but through Kay’s entire body of work: “Events, destinies, the flow of the river of time . . . these are altered, often, by very small things.” It’s more than a theme; with Kay’s approach to fiction, attention is paid and respect is given to very small things.
