The Snow Queen Author: Out of print since 1986, Joan Vinge's novel is back to tell the tale of the ageless, corrupt Snow Queen and her wish to control Tiamat forever. But her rule is quickly coming to an end unless she can find a young mystic named Moon -- the Snow Queen's clone.

Beautiful., January 3, 2006
Reviewer: Snow (Taipei, Taiwan)
Is there such a way to depict how Joan D. Vinge's eloquent use of words can captivate the readers?
No. Only by reading her works could one truly understand how beautiful her story is, as well as how a mere, simple emotion could evolve into a higher degree of sensations and development, for both the reader and the characters themselves.
To me, the Snow Queen is one of the best books I have read ever since. Tragic, yet breathtaking, Vinge has created the perfect illusion of emotions in which the readers could really feel what the characters do, and the role they play. Though I wasn't fond of Moon, the main character, fall in love with a man whom she met for only a short while within the story, still, Vinge's work is a must-read that will question the essence of love itself, if not what us, as readers, really are...
