Story
When Dirk t'Larien is beckoned across space to the distant world of Worlorn by his lost love, Gwen Delvano, a wild hope flares inside him. However, the rogue planet and his long awaited reunion with Gwen are nothing like Dirk ever imagined. Gwen is radically changed from the girl Dirk first fell in love with, and appears to be irrevocably bound to a violent alien savage and his barbaric culture. Worlorn is a desolate ruin of a planet, steadily hurtling through space away from the star system it relies on to support life - each dawn its seven red suns shine a little dimmer.

People have been telling stories about warriors for as long as they have been telling stories... Our contributors make up an all-star lineup of award-winning and bestselling writers, representing a dozen different publishers and as many genres. We asked each of them for the same thing - a story about a warrior. Some chose to write in the genre they’re best known for. Some decided to try something different. You will find warriors of every shape, size, and color here....

Terrible narration, dull stories

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.

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.

Windhaven By George R. R. Martin , Lisa Tuttle
I'm not quite sure how much George R. R. Martin was involved in this book, it doesn't feel like its his writing style to me, but I have to say it is still extremely well written. Beautiful detail and descriptions and a compelling story you just have to finish. If this is all Lisa Tuttle's work I will be looking for more in the future. If I have any complaints, its that there is not enough back story of how they came to be on Windhaven, it is talked about but I felt it needed a bit more.
The narration is very good, Harriet Walter's use of accents is superb, you can lose yourself in the book and know exactly which character is talking, they feel just right.
Hope this helps whoever is planning to read it, I enjoyed it very much.

meritocracy vs privilege
For me this was a story about the struggle for equality, challenging tradition and arguing for a system that gives equal opportunities to all regardless of birth right. It's akin to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. The subject was cleverly argued and also highlighted some very important aspects of the human nature: the privelleged will never willingly support a change that threatens their way of life and that with change sometimes comes unintended consequences.
Interesting story. I quite enjoyed it and some bits even had me on tenterhooks.

Interesting but no distinguishable plot.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
With odd jumps in time this book seemed to be more the story of a life rather than a novel, however it was an interesting listen
Would you be willing to try another one of Harriet Walter’s performances?
Not keen on the voice but a good performance.

Grrm and Tuttle team up
A richly imagined secondary world, some ASOIAF fans will enjoy seeing those earlier creations which would influence or be homages in GRRMs magnum opus. The book is gentle, reflective and creative but felt a little plodding in places which kept it from being a page turner. I liked the politics and ethical debates displayed in this secondary world.

romantic, no action, ideology, good characters
I am more used to books focused around a story, action. this one is more like a romantic biography. a lot of emotions.much less action. plenty of ideology. ethical decisions presented as if the world had no shades of grey.

OK, very low on science
Narrators use of accents for the varying characters was rather strained. The story is slow and never really goes anywhere beyond the opening premise.
