This review is from: The Mad Fisherman's Daughter: Two Novellas (Paperback)
Osiers' novellas are well-written and full of character driven adventure. Although I liked the delicate interplay between the characters in "Exiles," I really enjoyed the haunting "Mad Fisherman's Daugher." What I really enjoyed, and thought very moving, was the visions that torture Christabel's father.
This served as a very important and cleverly written plot device, as well as a catalyst for the human element that Osier is best at. In fact, her character building and world building style reminds me of the old space operas, the stuff that made sci-fi great. I also felt reminded of a great operatic writer: Lois McMaster Bujold.
Well worth investing your time.
