Pavane

Rating:
Summary: A lean, lyrical masterpiece
Review: Written in prose as strong and precise as wrought ironwork, yet rich and vivid as a sudden spray of summer blossoms, "Pavane" takes the reader to an alternate England of rich and vivid detail ... you can feel the bite of frost and snow, the sting of salty waves on your face ... A beautifully realized world has been created, with a history and cast of characters that *feels* real. Science fiction or fantasy? Perhaps a little of both - although forcing this book into any particular niche is beside the point. What matters is its humanity and its stark power, which will remain with you longer after you finish the last page. Please reprint it soon!
