Last week Thursday I began reading The King of Ys series by Poul and Karen Anderson. I've read some of Poul Anderson's other work, including his Fantasy anthology, Orion Shall Rise, and the Hoka stories he wrote with Gordon R. Dickson. I'm familiar with his writing style, which I've found appealing, and dispite some disappointment with the aforementioned Orion Shall Rise, I've found his work very entertaining. I'm hoping this series will be the same.
Anderson is one of those versatile writers who can handle both science fiction and fantasy, and in the Ys series, he tackles not just any fantasy, but historical fantasy. So far it appears to be well-researched and the historical aspects seem to be accurate.
My only remaining question is, "How do you pronounce 'Ys'?"
