A review by mw2k
How Are the Mighty Fallen by Thomas Burnett Swann

4.0

Semi-fantastic re-telling of the David and Jonathan story from the Old Testament with the usual Swann fae/faerie treatment. Can be heavy going at times and Swann's wordplay is certainly baroque and sometime misses the mark with its ornate twists and turns. Withal, well-crafted and laid out, but it's probably not for anyone other than fans of this kind of material, and I agree with another reviewer than George Barr's artwork doesn't quite mesh with the story within the covers.

This work is not as playful or whimsical as some of his other stuff, but Swann is a unique voice amongst the fantasy field.
