5.0 out of 5 stars Cards of Grief, February 25, 2004
By Sarah Cheek "mscheek" (Denison, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cards of Grief (Paperback)
I became a Jane Yolen fan through this book. Her unusual style, such as is seen in the Great Alta trilogy, where history, critical judgement, and matters of the heart mingle, works absolutely perfectly here - though elsewhere it might be a little daunting to the reader. A researcher, studying the culture of a world where grief is the primary emotion, becomes involved with the Queen's Own Griever and her tragic life. The story is told in a series of interviews and flashbacks; it has depths far beyond its tiny length.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Original Compelling Fantasy, July 16, 2000
By "madstuff" (Northern New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This is a beautiful lyrical work about a culture founded on the belief of continual grieving both as an art form, a basis of racial memory and the way that the world is maintained.

The coming of man contaminated this world and the repercusions are severe and lasting.

A beautiful work that I strongly recommend to the thoughful among us.
