- A Timely Political Treatise: A Review of Ricardo Pinto's The Standing Dead, by Stephanie Dray
(1/5/04)
- Review.
- The Standing Dead is not entirely a work of political fiction. The book is also intensely personal, asking questions about the limitations of romantic love and its danger to character and integrity.
- A Civic Fairy Tale: Lords of Rainbow by Vera Nazarian, by Stephanie Dray
(10/27/03)
- Review.
- [A]t heart, Lords of Rainbow is about a love affair between the . . . city of Tronaelend-Lis and her citizens.
- Revolutionary Nautical Fantasy: Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders Series, by Stephanie Dray
(11/5/01)
- Review.
- Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders series tells a story of family grit and emerging nationhood that would be compelling even if it were lifted out of its fantasy setting. That the story takes place within a magical world where ships come to life, sea-serpents terrorize the oceans, and enchanted trinkets of a lost Elderling race are regularly discovered, makes the story more than compelling—it makes it an extraordinary high fantasy saga.
