Review by: Dobsew on Feb. 09, 2012 :
Lay of Gilthol & Kirõral is a collection of poems about the world of Fae.

I don’t usually read poems but I enjoyed these poems for the descriptive world that Hendrickson portrayed and with the theme of tragic lovers and forbidden love throughout it gave a sense of Romeo and Juliet, fae style.

Title: Lay of Gilthol & Kirõral
Author: Kevis Hendrickson
Genre: Fantasy Poems
Published: December 28, 2011
Fantasy Poetry that will start you thinking about your own true love. The poems are long and well thought out. You can tell that the author cares for his characters which he describes in better detail in his stories.
I would suggest that you read the short stories and novels before you read these poems.
Of all the great poems included here, my favorite would be ‘In the Halls of Kirlomoenen’. These poems reminded me of the forbidden love of, William Shakespeare’s, Romeo and Juliet.
I only rated it 3 stars on Good Reads because I believe that in time Kevis Hendrickson will be to fantasy what Edgar Allen Poe is to horror.
I recommend this book to all diehard fantasy lovers as I truly believe they will be the ones that will understand it best.
