More About the Author

I've written sf and fantasy for publication since 1975...but I've written a lot longer than that. I have a background in Mediterranean archaeology, Latin, Greek, that sort of thing; my hobbies are travel, photography, planetary geology, physics, pond-building for koi...I run a marine tank, can plumb most anything, and I figure-skate.

I believe in the future: I'm an optimist for good reason---I've studied a lot of history, in which, yes, there is climate change, and our species has been through it. We've never faced it fully armed with what we now know, and if we play our cards right, we'll use it as a technological springboard and carry on in very interesting ways.

I also believe a writer owes a reader a book that has more than general despair to spread about: I write about clever, determined people who don't put up with situations, not for long, anyway: people who find solutions inspire me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goblins made good, August 26, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: The Goblin Mirror (Mass Market Paperback)

One of the best aspects of Cherryh's fiction is the close, almost claustrophobic environment she creates in almost every book. She certainly manages that here, with a fantasy tale with more folkloric and fairy-tale elements than her other fantasy novels. This is definitely one of her stronger fantasy novels. I tend to prefer her science fiction, generally having trouble getting into her fantasy work, but The Goblin Mirror is a notable exception. This is one of her best books - and I've read them all.

This review is from: The Goblin Mirror (Mass Market Paperback)

This story grabs you from the beginning and keeps you along for the ride. The boys are wonderfully real. The youngest of three brothers innocently follows his brothers into a world beyond his imagining through his jealous wish to be included because he's too young to go out into the world and try to find a solution to a perplexing problem his country is experiencing. All of the interactions of the characters are fun. Not always happy and safe, but they make you smile nonetheless. The magic within is intrieguing, and the young magicians innocently dangerous.
