Windhaven

Windhaven is an amazing 35yrs old story/adventure waiting to be discovered.

Divided in 3 parts plus prologue and epilogue, the story advances at a steady pace. The third part being possibly the slower one and my least favorite.

Having to pick one, I would choose the second part as the one I liked most. This section is where all the action occurs and where the most interesting characters are introduced. Where you get the feel of the world and what it means to fly.

One possible criticism for this book may reside in the backstory of how the wings came to be and how it all began. There was so much potential there, but it was all explained in a paragraph or two.

I could not help to recommend this book. So go ahead, One-Wings and conquer your position as Flyers.

Side notes:

I really took the liking for flying. If the urge to fly again becomes too unbearable for me, a previously “stuck to earth”, I'm looking forward to reading Updraft and see what it looks like.

I don't know which author wrote each parts of the book. Yet, characters like “The Crow” assure us that G.R.R. Martin maybe was already tinkering with A Song of Ice and Fire at the time (Or maybe he just likes crows).
