Negative Positive
Title: Beautiful, intriguing, incredible
Review: Terri Windling has created a fantastic story. The characters are sharp and believable, including the supernatural ones, and the world is vast and beautiful, but recognizable as our own. Windling displays a deep understanding of the beauty and magic of the desert, and somehow creates a shape around it, putting the magic of her world into terms we can understand and lose ourselves in.Maggie Black's exploration of the mysteries and magic of the desert pulls the reader in, and as we uncover the secrets of her new world we begin to look at our own surroundings differently. It is not a book that requires action or snappy dialogue to keep intrigue - instead, the detailed descriptions of the surroundings give us a crystal clear picture of the magical desert, and gives us clues into the rules - or lack thereof - of the supernatural world.
