Review

If you like A Song of Ice and Fire and want to see what GRRM's other work is like, or if you simply enjoy fantasy, this is one for you. (Bookbag.co.uk)

[Tuttle's] sensibility simply pours from the pages. However, the true strength of "Windhaven" is character of Maris - a strong female character that took my breath away. If you're ever interested in gentle romantic fantasy set in a socially challenged environment give "Windhaven" a try - you might be pleasantly surprised (Upcoming 4 Me)

If you are looking for a good summer read [...] Windhaven is an excellent choice (SF Site)

It's quirky, has something a bit different for fantasy fans and when added to prose that's reasonable alongside characters that more than keep the readers interest, all round generates a title that was a fun read (Falcata Times) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description

A classic novel from George R. R. Martin, author of the hit HBO TV series A GAME OF THRONES, and award-winning author Lisa Tuttle.

5.0 out of 5 starsA wonderful surprise
By Sam Graham on 21 Jun. 2002
Format: Paperback
I bought this book on the strength of George RR Martin's other works and was in two minds once I received it - the blurb reads like the worst of romantic fantasy and with commendations by Anne McCaffrey and Marion Zimmer Bradley (sorry but...) and a "young girl achieves her dreams of flying and makes the world a better place" plot synopsis.
Frankly I thought there was no hope for this story by this point. Still, I'd bought it and, even if it sounded like it was turgid wishy-washy idealism and escapism, I was going to have to read it...
Early next morning I finally finished the book and managed to put it down and get some sleep. Yes, the main character is a somewhat foolish idealist with a dream of flying and breaking down the caste system, but the story is about much more than that, it shows that even great and noble actions like establishing equality can have disasterous consequences and that changing the law to be "fairer" may sound good in principle but when it hurts your friends then your idealism wavers.
Definitely recommended and slightly off the well worn track of mainstream fantasy.

4.0 out of 5 starsAn entertaining read
By William Marnoch on 29 Jun. 2001
Format: Hardcover
Windhaven is a world where the only land is in the form of small islands in a stormy sea. It's only inhabitants are the descendants of a crashed Earth colony ship who live a low-technology existence on those islands. One of the major forms of communication on Windhaven is messages carried by the flyers who use wings crafted from the spaceship's materials to fly between the islands, the wings are highly prized and passed down only through the elite flyer families. The main theme of this books concerns the efforts of the ordinary citizens of Windhaven, particuarily the book's heroine, to be allowed the chance to be able to become flyers. The more conservative of the flyer families resist the idea of others also being allowed to fly and this book deals with the conflict between the two groups. Like Martin's other books the characters are what makes this book good, as well as the convincing and original world. Fans of his major series, A Song of Ice and Fire should not be disapointed although the theme and feel of the book bears more similarity to Anne Mcaffrey's Pern series than Martin's other books. In summary, an entertaining book that is well worth reading.

I bought this on the strength of Ice and Fire. I found Pern on a bad day, and without the dragons. It may have got better, but after after 47 pages I just don't care.

5.0 out of 5 starsBrilliantly envisaged, a dreamer rubbing against reality
By Jason Mills VINE VOICE on 17 July 2001
Format: Paperback
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.

1.0 out of 5 starsSad disappointment
By SheriL on 28 Dec. 2011
Format: Mass Market Paperback
WindhavenIts possible that if I'd never read all of the books of, 'Song of Ice and Fire' I wouldn't have been so disappointed with Windhaven. I bought this book because I wanted to continue to relish each word Martin has written. Either he had nothing, or very little, to do with this book, or he's really slipped. It was puerile. Plot and writing were amateurish. I suffered thru half of it and then took it to a charity shop. I would equate this experience as being nearly as bad as having to suffer thru the film, 'Ishtar' again. I won't write any more about it because that would really be flogging a dead horse - which is what Windhaven is.

5.0 out of 5 starsA must for anyone wishing to change the world!!!!
By Mr. A. J. D. White VINE VOICE on 6 Feb. 2001
Format: Paperback
What can I say about this book..... well its excellent.
This is not a story about a poor village girl who finds out that she is the heir to a lost kingdom or set or wings... Just of a woman who tries to change the world for the better, but then comes to realise that it ain't as easy or ideal as she 1st thought...
If you want a book that deals with extremely well drawn characters who react believeably to a changing world, or just a well written thoughtful peice of art then this is the book for you...
