Ysabel by Guy Gavriel Kay: Even those who Remember the Past are Condemned to be Possessed.

I do on occasion venture into the adult section of the library, almost entirely on recommendations, true, but it does happen. So, since I normally love Guy Gavriel Kay, and I gave him one of my few negative reviews a while back, and my library finally got Ysabel, it’s only been out for TWO YEARS (yeah, that’s like nothing for my library, but, come on, it’s me and a book) I decided I’d review it.

Ned Marriner isn’t sure what he thinks about Provence, but he really likes getting out of school for a while. His father, a famous photographer and his crew are making a book, and between scouting out places for his father to shoot and buying history papers off exchange students, he starts to discover something about his family’s past, and the fabric of history. When the parties to an ancient love triangle come back to haunt the present, Ned and his friends have to race against them to save one of their own...

( Melanie wasn't his love, or anything totally stupid like that, but you didn't have to be in love with someone to fight for them. )

Well, I still want The Lions of Al-Rassan back, but in the mean time, Ysabel can consol me.
