In Lonely Lands

On a lovely summer morning where I fell weighted down and melancholy, I read this short story and fell into a world of gray and cold. Exquisite descriptions of both mood and landscape… I washed away and resurfaced breathless from its small touch of magic and wonder.

Excellent, as Victoria Goddard’s work always is. Very subtle in the references to Yshtar. I have to say, though, that being from Texas, it doesn’t incline me to visit the northern parts of this continent except maybe in the middle of July. (I strongly suggest that perhaps people may not want to visit here from May through September.) Thank you for a wonderful read.

I have read every book by Victoria Goddard at least twice, and I was so excited when In Lonely Lands came out. It is a great novella and Victoria’s writing is so incredible. Thank you, Victoria!
