Publisher's Summary
Before Westeros there was Windhaven....
On the stormy planet of Windhaven, flyers are idolised as the vital link between its disparate islands. The common people rely on this elite class to support their way of life. These 'land-bound' can only dream of what it must be like to take to the skies. For Maris, dreams are not enough, and through an unlikely twist of fate, she has a taste of what life as a flyer is like. Maris was born to fly; as her raw talent blossoms into peerless skill, it appears her childhood fantasies have come true. However, just as it seems that she has found her true calling, the hereditary dogma which rules the skies sets out to strip Maris of her wings. Birthright - not ability - has always governed the right to fly.
Maris' rebellious crusade to change this inequality, and earn back her wings, has deeper consequences for Windhaven than anyone could have possibly imagined.
In a unique collaboration from two of the 20th century's greatest imaginations, George R. R. Martin and Lisa Tuttle, Windhaven is fantasy at its best.

incredibly well read
Harriet Walter brings an already wonderful story to life with her ability to cut and change from character to accent to feeling so seamlessly.

Weak Story Linep
The narration was good but did little to improve a poorly written work. not recommended.

Dreams of Flight
Beautifully read
Starts a bit slow but, overall, a good read. The 3 parts make it like a novella trilogy.
For those who dream of flight, or are already fliers of some form, the imagery in this tail will call to you.
Definitely worth reading/having read too you.

Stick with it
some great moments and I enjoyed the character development. The three stages of story were also effective.

Not what I was expecting.
I found the story was a bit slow. It didn’t grab me at all. I thought I’d stick it out to the end to see if it got better, but unfortunately it didn’t. The performance of the narrator was fine though. I would be using my monthly credit on something else.
