A review by furicle
Austral by Paul McAuley
4.0
Wonderful world building, believable, lovable main characters, and a meandering journey through multiple lives on several lines.
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I found the one main story with two other threads to be a nice technique. The fictional thread seemed more real than the historical one, and less in doubt. Just the way it should have been.
The elf stones were hauntingly perfect, the background politics depressingly realistic.
Highly recommended.
