The Queen of Air and Darkness (The Worlds of Poul Anderson ; 6)

Rating:
Summary: Award Winner by a Master
Review: I believe this won the Hugo and Nebula, for novellas maybe. It is supposedly a classic, and I enjoyed it. Like love poetry by Ovid and Plato, the very best from long ago sometimes looks cliche due to imitation. This shows a reserve and integrity that remain special and could have been what brought it such acclaim. It is only hackneyed in the most superficial way. I was lucky to run across it in "New America," a TOR book from (?)1983 which includes another good short story and novella. Daniel Coffin appears in Orbit Unlimited, I think. Check Queen out, it leaves you with an interesting feeling. Very well written.
