4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping yet ultimately unfulfilling Aug 8 2002
By Dyanne
Format:Paperback
I truly enjoy Hand's writing - lyrical, expressive and detailed. As an example of her early work, this novel is a phenomenal piece of writing. Her characters are magnificent and she breaks just about every taboo you can think of without losing her sense of style. However, I found the ending to drag slightly, as she had left a great many loose ends to tie up. At this point I often found myself loosing sight of the plot. Certainly worth a read, but I would recommend Aestival Tide and Glimmering over it.

5.0 out of 5 stars WINTERLONG Sep 27 2001
By Raymond J. Wright
Format:Paperback
Winterlong is a stunning, artfull, full throtle novel of unbelievable depth and style. Written with more imagination than most writers can muster in a lifetime, this is a novel that will leave you completely fulfilled and aching for more. Hand has created a civilization struggling to find it's place in a broken world that cuts so close to truth as to be disturbing. READ THIS BOOK!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rich, deep and satisfying. July 3 2000
By Gabe Randolph
Format:Paperback
This is the kind of science fiction novel you do not see very often any more. Elizabeth Hand has managed to combine elements of mythology and weird fiction with cybernetic SF and spiced the brew with luxuriant blossoms from the garden of the Decadents. I say it this way because people have misunderstood so much. You cannot think Anne Rice when you read Elizabeth Hand. Yes, one can identify scraps of H.P. Lovecraft, Christina Rossetti and especially Tanith Lee, but Hand is not trying to write like anyone but herself.

And I'm only midway through the first chapter.

Don't read the back cover before reading the paperback. The characters are unashamedly seductive, the places and puzzles unfailingly intriguing. Read more
