Ombria in Shadow

I love McKillip. Her stories are always rewarding. Of course, I've only read her award winners, but I have no doubt I would like many of her others. This is my fourth in this challenge and it's another four-star novel. This one combines art and magic with a shadow world beneath main one. Every so often, a transformation occurs and events seem to be lining up so that another is on the way. It's very creative and simply told, though the politics and the plot's climax are complex. This book won both the 2003 Mythopoeic and World Fantasy Awards.
