A review by ilanderz
Wizard of the Pigeons by Megan Lindholm

4.0

One of my favourite books despite a rather flat-footed ending, which suggests that Lindholm simply ran out of time or interest when she got to the end. It's a shame because the rest of the book is sublime. That I rate Wizard of the Pigeons so high and value it so much and continue to re-read it from time to time is testament to how good most of the book is. Sombre, moody, internal, evocative, magical, and imaginative. Deeply ambiguous in a way that draws the reader in and makes them complicit in the story-telling. A story crafted by a deeply gifted writer, though I do wish she'd re-write those last three pages.
