The Buried Giant - Kazuo Ishiguro

4/5

A rare gem among fantasy novels.  Holding just a touch of magic, using it with a delicate touch rather than as the entire focal point.  As an odd forgetfulness inducing mist covers the land, we follow an elderly couple on their journey, not your typical knight in shining armor.  This story contains just enough of the classic "hero on a quest" to be comfortably familiar.  It also carries enough character to make it something all it's own.

A very pleasant read. I would highly recommend it.
