(Whose life has taken a depressing turn for the worst, it seems.) "This is the first work of high heroic fantasy that has taken the work of Tolkien, assimilated it totally, and deeply, and absolutely.
The quotes on the back of the book don't help. A new friend had some of her books, and I took her up on her generous "deed." Having done some further research it is much clearer to me now, that Moon did much of her writing in the mid-to-late 80s and was merely part of the explosion of new fantasy at that time. In an effort to get actual blog readers and to meet more like minded people, I kept hearing her name in relation to foundational fantasy literature: genre defining stuff.
I'm ashamed to admit that I had not heard of Elizabeth Moon until just last year.
