5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly envisaged, a dreamer rubbing against reality, 18 Jul 2001
By Jason Mills "jason10801" (Accrington, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
George RR Martin's early stuff is being reissued on the back the success of his 'Song of Ice and Fire' series. And a good thing too. This collaboration with Lisa Tuttle at first gave me the impression it would be predictable but a good read. In fact it was wonderful.

It follows Maris, who has no right to fly except that there is nothing she wants more in the world. Broadly in three parts, the books charts her difficult, thrilling and compelling adventures right through her life. Boldly imagined, adult and moving, this is a very welcome reprint.
