Patricia A. McKillip, in my opinion, is one of those authors who is very good – but in very small doses. I found her couple of years ago, read Winter Rose, and was absolutely enchanted by her prose. I could forgive some misses in characterization and plot, because I loved the style so much. But the next one – The Song for Basilisk - didn’t do anything for me, and I couldn’t even finish The Riddlemaster Trilogy. But some time later I read Ombria in Shadow and fell in love with her again. Now I am thinking – after getting rid of the book pile from the library I currently reading - to look into her latest stuff.
