Title: Why re-issue when you could re-edit
Review: Here's what I wrote in Goodreads in May 2011:Finally finished the book which is a reprint of McKillip's first fantasy books. It was hard to read more than 2 pages at a time; I didn't care about the characters; I had problems whenever there was dialogue because she made it hard to know who was speaking and the book needed to be edited down to 2/3 of its original length removing some of the sturm und drang.I've been told that McKillip got better as a writer after she finished these 3, but it'll be a long time before I pick up one of her later books. She should never have re-issued this volume without extensive editing.
