The Sorceress and the Cygnet
Ratings7
Average rating3.7
With hair the colour of the moon, Corleu was different from the other Wayfolk. He alone tried to free his wandering tribe from the unearthly swamp that ensnared them - and he alone dared to cross the forbidden threshold. There he found a strange dark house, a place of legends and gods, foreseen in the stars. And there, to save his people, began Corleu's search for the heart of the Cygnet - and impossible treasure... But if legends are real, nothing is impossible.

FIRST REVIEW, 2021:
It took me a much longer time to read this than I was expecting. It's one of McKillip's most complex works, as well as one of her most poetic, filled with all kinds of allegories and mysteries. I couldn't always follow the storyline or the action, but I just went with the flow.
SECOND REVIEW, 2024:
Well, I'll be damned. Read it all practically in one sitting this time on a long train trip, but I had zero recollection of this book. It was only when I wanted to log it that I discovered I'd read this before. It's still a very abstract work, especially near the end.
