If Adrienne Martine-Barnes is the best forgotten fantasy writer of the 80s, Ann Maxwell is the best forgotten sci-fi writer of the 80s. She's like Patricia McKillip in space: lyrical and brilliant although it's often hard to relate to her characters. I simply don't mind because reading her is transporting entirely because of her language. Be prepared for lack of resolution, though. I usually hate this, but for Maxwell, it's worth it.

This by far is one of my favorite pieces. I pull it from the shelf every year or so and reread it. The scope and power of the characters always blows me away. The story is to complex to explain, lets just say it is an epic story of a race to figure out how to hold back a love that spans time itself. The characters always touch me deeply. To know what they want but still do everything they can to stop it. It is a wonderful tale and I would like to thank the author for putting such beauty in one b

This is my all time favorite book. I've owned this a couple times over the last decade plus and pull it out to reread at least twice a year. And everytime I take something new from it. It never fails to put a smile on my face. Thia is truly excellent writing.

While I appreciate being spared pages and pages of exposition, this felt like skipping the first two books in a trilogy and reading only the third. Some of the world/culture/language/background is explained, some isn’t, and some of the unexplained parts played major roles. This made it difficult to fully immerse in the story because I kept getting jolted out but words and concepts I didn’t understand in the context. I still liked it overall, but I got to the end and was just...unsatisfied someho

Here's another book I read for the first time many years ago I remembered being very fascinated by it and always wished I could be like the main female character and have hair that could heal people the imagery of the story was very enticing and I thought of all the ways I could help the world with such an ability. On this second reading I noticed the story while poetic and intriguing was a bit too rife with banal male/female dynamics and the female was not as strong on her own as i remembered s

I often wonder why Ann Maxwell is not more well-known. She is an excellent story teller and sets the stage firmly. Halfway through the story, time/then and time/now became phrases as easily accepted in my mind as TARDIS and sonic screwdriver; timeshadows and Kiri atavistic rage are easy to understand despite never getting a textbook definition of these things. Maxwell just tells the story so convincingly that I never doubted my ability to understand what she was describing to me. Excellent. And.

It hasn't held up as much as other books I read back when this was released, but it was still the book that made me interested in Science Fiction and Fantasy to begin with.
A great story, just enough romance to pull you along, and a universe you long to explore. ...more

The only Ann Maxwell book ive ever read and one of my all time favourite books, that I've gone back and reread many times.
Its a bit hard to get into what with the differing elements like the Dariens, the fives, the wild psi and other stuff. Dont give up though its a great story, and you may have to read it more than once to understand it properly (its not a very long book so dont let that deter you) but its worth it. ...more

I first read this in 1986 and have read it many times during the years but have thought of it more. It gives me a sense of hope that I cannot obtain from real life. It's always good to slip back into the Timeshadow Rider.....
