Ian Watson recommends
A Wreath of Stars
A Wreath of Stars (1976)
Bob Shaw
"An exciting, cunningly devised novel... unputdownable, magnificently implausible... one of Shaw's most entertaining novels."
The Crow Maiden
The Crow Maiden (2000)
Sarah Singleton
"A brilliant novel, powerful, sensuous, earthy, and often quite luminously magical. The story makes sense, the characters are well drawn and sympathetic (including their faults) and the pacing is about right because readers will wish to revel--descriptions have a wonderful richness and precision of language and there are many brilliant scenes."
