Review: The Forgotten Beasts of Eld

The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received a Digital Review Copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

If I am honest, although lured by this gorgeous cover, my main interest in reading this book is that Max Gladstone has often spoken about how much he loves Patricia McKillip's writing, and this book in particular, with its magnificent and evolving protagonist. (We should all listen to Max...) Published in 1974 and recently re-released by Tachyon Press, The Forgotten Beasts of Eld teaches us about the power of love, about betrayal, insight, and trust. It's a beautiful work of fantasy written in lush prose. This book has made me determined to read more of McKillip's work.
