I loved the Complete Trilogy version that had been published in the early 2000s for the convenience, but honestly, when I think about these books, I'm always going to see the Darryl K. Sweet covers:

I loved these books! I had to read them through a few times to really understand them, but McKillip's writing is often like that.

I don't think I ever liked anything she wrote as much as these and The Forgotten Beasts of Eld. Her later books always seemed to lack a bit of humanity?

They always felt like parables about archetypes, rather than stories about people and places that might have been.
