Critical Essay by Kliatt Young Adult Paperback Book Guide
The name of Marion Zimmer Bradley is a guarantee of excellence. Creative imagination, strong, fleshed-out characters, compelling style, an uncanny ability to make all totally credible combine to involve readers from the first page, never releasing them until long after the last page. [Thendara House], another in the famed Darkover series, deals with conflicts—conflicts between loyalties, between personal relationships (hetero- and homosexual) between cultures, between short and long views, between personal desires and planetary needs, between sexes, and so on. The question is, Can conflicts change from "against" to "with"?… It is a long book worth careful reading, especially by anyone interested in the role of women in any culture or time.
