This one is a hard one, because I liked them all to a greater or lesser degree. I think I would have to go with Song for Arbonne, because I think it's a structurally perfect book. But I also loved Tigana and Lions and the Fionavar Tapestry.
This book takes place in the here-and-now, and for that reason, it starts sooner. By which I mean that there is always a point in a Kay novel at which the narrative suddenly clicks for me, at which the book suddenly wounds me, and from that moment on, I can't put it down. Song for Arbonne didn't click for me until page 125ish, but I tend to read Kay with the certainty that everything I've read so far has meaning, even if it doesn't drag me kicking and screaming into the Story.
