I am a long time Kay fan and I was thoroughly entranced with the story. It is a more modern setting intersecting with history/legends that interact with present day characters in Aix, France. Celtic legends, Roman battles, Canadian characters and a mystifying romantic triangle come together in an exciting and fresh mix. This is a bit of a change for Kay, whose other historical fantasies are based in a past world. It is intriguing and suspenseful, couldn't put it down. There is a tie in to characters from his Fionavar trilogy that was a fun plot twist.
I highly recommend this book but not as a first time Kay reader. Start with the Fionavar trilogy and then enjoy Ysabel. It is a great read.
