Rhyll McMaster's writing is extraordinary - fierce and delicate-minded at the same time, she never puts a word wrong. This is an amazing first novel, a world of its own, and I am confident that any prose McMaster chooses to publish in the future will have the same marvellous qualities. Feather Man is comic, tender, savage, sad and then hilariously wild just when you're expecting no such turn of events. I love this kind of writing.
