From Magic In Ithkar (May 1985):
Out of the wide plains of Texas to misty forelands of her own devising, Ardath Mayhar makes a remarkable transition. Her words sing, which is not remarkable in an author who was first a poet. She is able to recreate skillfully other writers' dreams, also, as in her justly acclaimed addition to H. Beam Piper's legends of the Fuzzies—Golden Dream. Then there are the worlds of her own in which one can lose oneself from the first sentence onward—Soul Singer of Tyros, How the Gods Wove in Kyrannon, and all the rest. Now she shows how, in Ithkar, one may point a needle and bring evil to justice.
