Golden Witchbreed was written in the early 80s. I’ve been wanting to revisit it ever since and now the time has come I’m excited and terrified in equal measure to be sharing it for SciFiMonth. I first read Golden Witchbreed a few years ago, thanks to Sandstone78 masterminding a buddy read on LibraryThing. This year, we’re reading Mary Gentle’s Golden Witchbreed, a classic of cut-throat politics and cultural tensions as a junior diplomat gets out of her depth on the dangerously compelling world of Orthe. It was SciFiMonth that first lured me into one, and it’s a tradition I’m delighted to continue. ![]()
