I was disappointed by this book, mostly because I expect so much from Guy Gavriel Kay.
Ysabel starts out strong but didn't manage to keep my interest. As a whole it lacks the richness GGK's other books offer. The characters remain under-developed, and I couldn't connect with any of them. The plot is pretty predictable as well.
I wouldn't recommend this one, and would say people new to GGK are better off either reading The Lions of Al-Rassan or Tigana.

Supposedly it's better if you've read The Fionavar Tapestry first.
