a pre-birthday surprise review!
Aug. 24th, 2012 07:56 amSF Signal reviews "From Whence You Came"! They had some gripes about the novella form, but conclude:
"A thoughtful examination of the consequences of magic; stands alone and away from its progenitor series well. Getting to see a legendary hero as a real and flawed person is a strong technique, and the author takes full advantage of that....if you aren’t inclined to start with the Nebula nominated novel Flesh and Fire, this is a way to try Gilman’s work, and her secondary world work in particular."
The e-novella is currently available, DRM-free, from Book View Cafe.
