I just finished this book and thought it was great. I've heard Lindholm's work wasn't very popular and honestly I can't see why. Are the rest of her books as good as this one? Better yet, are there any other books written in this style? I heard that De Lint's books were like this. Are they any good?
I quite liked the DeLint novel I read, but the name is gone from my memory. I got the cover (leafy green forest clearing) but the name... Moon-something?
Had dimensional travel and his own divination system in it.
I read Yarrow once - thought it OK but felt no need to reread. It's about an author who writes herself into her own fantasy dreams and vice versa. I think.
I've read Wizard of the pigeons too. It inspired me to write an extremely unusual RPG system for dimensional overlap games. Although if anyone has any suggestions of further works in a similar vein, I'll be watching this space. :-)
I haven't read Wizard of the Pigeons but I read another of her books, Cloven Hooves, that was good - and if you have any sort of taste for fairly epic fantasy, the stuff she writes under the psuedonym Robin Hobb is some of the best of its genre.
I stumbled on Wizard of Pigeons a couple of years ago, in a pile of old paperbacks. Wow, that was a goody. Its terribly hard to track down, being out of print currently.
As for de Lint if you haven't checked him out for a while he's got much better. His earlier stuff is pretty average contemporary fantasy but his later stuff like Somewhere to be Flying and Trader are very good indeed.
