'The Isle of Glass' is a novel in which the elven hero, Alf, works against civil war and heads on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Reception



Dave Langford reviewed 'The Isle of Glass' for 'White Dwarf' #80, and stated that "Tarr can actually write. Her spare prose and dialogue give a period flavour without the dread excesses of gadzookery. Moreover, she's clearly a member of the Black Lords Anonymous and the Society for the Abolition of Quest Clichs."
