Reactions and Reviews

I can't really believe that Jacqueline Lichtenberg wrote as she did. I like you, Jacqueline, but that story was trite, horrible, insignificant. Lady Clairol comes to Darkover.[1]

The other stories and articles struck different chords. LADY CLAIROL COMES TO DARKOVER (Jacqueline's story, dubbed that at Boskone) I would have preferred written more for the fun of it than quite so straight. I can't quite accept it as historical fact.[2]

Jacqueline Lichtenberg has pulled a sneaky one with ADJUSTMENT. I am trying to visualize Regis Hastur under the hairdryer and I just can't make it. On the other hand, it makes perfect sense, in a way; although I am not sure Regis would forego the immediate recognition that his white hair would bring, even thouqh it hurt to be stared at, because that recognition factor would help him immensely, I would think, in trvina to being back some coherence into the Comyn...on the other hand, he isn't very old yet and it does hurt to be stared at, no matter who you are. Whether I instantly agreed with it or not, I liked the story very much.[3]
