Earlier this year I read the story "Lady of Horses" by Judith Tarr. Last week, while perusing the library shelves I saw another book by Tarr, "Queen of Swords", and decided to pick it up. Her story telling ability rivals that of Marion Zimmer-Bradley; her prose is vivid beyond belief! I'm under the impression that she drops an acid tab or two before pounding out a chapter. What an extremely gifted writer.
From what I can gather, Tarr focuses on female icons throughout ancient history and then creates an historical fiction account of the time and place. It's absolutely stunning. I'm foaming at the mouth in anticipation of reading her other creations which I intend to purchase straight away!
