Back when I was a kid, Patricia McKillip really knocked me out with her Riddlemaster of Hed trilogy. Then a bunch of years got by me and I sort of lost track of her. Recently I've been on a rampage of rediscovery. She has several very loosely related volumes, including this one -- no connection among the story lines, but they have a distinctive style that sort of ties them together. They are all fabulous.McKillip has a lyrical writing style that has a poetic rhythm to it that for me calls to mind Dylan Thomas's work. I love how she anchors her imagery in sea, stone, fire and wind. You just can't write fantasy any better than this. If you're a fan of the genre, this is must reading. Even if you're not typically a fantasy reader, you'll be hooked by McKillip's stuff.
