paradoxosalpha: As an SF author, Leigh Brackett is known for her planetary romances, which are indeed very fine. But this novel, perhaps her most lauded book-length work, involves a more serious and credible look at the future of our society.

ejmam: Alternate history is SF, especially if it isn't alternate because magic

Aquila : Yeah, this is pretty classic fantasy, unless you want to put all systematic magic into scifi.
anglemark : Books don't really get to be more fantasy than this.
ejmam : Definitely fantasy
amanda4242 : This is a fantasy novel that is on several existing lists of fantasy novels.
Maddz : Fantasy not SF
waltzmn: Yes, it's fantasy, but if it's on the "Science Fiction" list, I put it on MY favorites list because it's one of the three or four best fantasy series of all time. We need a way to vote it to a fantasy list that doesn't imply it's a bad book!
: This is fantasy, not SF
SChant : Fantasy
