I am glad I made it to the end of this trilogy.
It definitely was written in a time when timing and pacing were completely different, and the mixture between action and introspection is something I have not come across before.
There, too, is the mix between science fiction and fantasy that finally comes together.
What I most like is the subversions of what I would assume were standard tropes in the 1980ies, that the author has worked into her story line.
In the end it is the female with her seemingly weak power of dream weaving that gets them out of the world threatening situation.
