But be prepared for a moody inundation… let yourself sink in, float across its waters as the moon dims, and beware the severed insect heads!įor a more detailed review check out Jesse’s over at Speculation. Highly recommended for fans of convention-breaking fantasy/SF more focused on disquieting scene and metaphor.

Michael Whelan’s cover for the 1982 editionĪ Storm of Wings (1980) is the second volume, after The Pastel City (1971), of the Viriconium sequence. ![]()
