Alphabet of Thorn by Patricia A. McKillip

5.0

McKillip's best

I love Patricia McKillip's fantasy novels, meandering and mesmerizing stories of people enmeshed in magic, but this one is my favorite. The love of language is part of it, and so are the intertwined stories of Tessera, Nepenthe, and Kane. It's worth a retread every few years.
