What does /sffg/ think of Guy Gavriel Kay?

Just finished reading this as my first GGK and thought it was pretty good. I wasn't the biggest fan of his writing style (a bit too spare, especially for a lavish setting like Tang China), however, and though the happy ending was refreshing and I enjoyed it, I thought it was a bit too neat.

Still a 7/10 for me, as I really liked the characters. I've heard it's one of his lesser works but I read it first because of the setting.
