Squee!!!! Piers Anthony's review for Starsight II is in... I am so excited!
"It is one hard-hitting fantasy.I read Starsight II by Minette Meador...This is sword and sorcery fantasy, but with strange bypaths, unusual twists, and savage conflicts. Few things are exactly what they seem to be. Very generally, the world is being invaded, but the troops are only part of it; devious enchantments subvert key figures and threaten disaster. There are deep loves and hatreds, and the magic can be ugly. Leading characters are not spared; they suffer heartbreak along with passion. A blurb by Spider Robinson says “A Typhoid Mary of a book from a writer to watch...” This is a pretty good description. Be prepared to have your innards twisted as you read. There was a time when women wrote gentle fantasy; this is not at all that kind."
Piers Anthony is one of the original sci-fi/fantasy writers from the golden age... One of America's best writers for 60+ years and still writing to this day. If you haven't read him... you should.
