"Readers will be enthralled by the author’s worldbuilding, and even more captivated by the lush prose" — Kirkus Reviews We were thrilled to see this starred review on Kirkus Reviews for The Curve of the World! www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...
THE CURVE OF THE WORLD | Kirkus Reviews
In the late McIntyre’s alternate-history novel, leaders in a matriarchal community set sail to reunite their foster children with their families of origin.

"In a sense, the tale is complementary to Homer’s Odyssey, which is getting the Hollywood treatment this summer in a movie starring Matt Damon as Odysseus. “It’s a side-by-side emergence of a literal hero’s journey and a literal heroine’s journey,” Shawl says." Alan Boyle on The Curve of the World
Alan Boyle@b0yle.bsky.social · 3mo agoScience-fiction writer Vonda McIntyre completed the manuscript for a different kind of Odyssey - from ancient Crete to the Pacific Northwest - just before she died in 2019. Now "The Curve of the World" has finally been published, and that's a cause for celebration. cosmiclog.com/2026/05/15/l...

THE CURVE OF THE WORLD by Vonda McIntyre
This world is round. Loving sailors court its waves, bathe in sea currents happily sharing secrets with them, waters telling them where to go and how best to navigate their way. With persistence as gentle and stubborn as worn stones, multiple award winner Vonda N. McIntyre shows us versions of everyday Minoan activities based on common sense and historical research, then flings us outward from that safe harbor into the wildest of adventures.

THE CURVE OF THE WORLD is magnificent, a glorious vision of a wider reality: a world in which global commerce and fairness are not a contradiction in terms. It is the sum and summit of all Vonda McIntyre was as a writer and human being, her last, best gift to a world in sore need of hope. Out today.

Book 18: Dreamsnake by Vonda McIntyre was an excellent character portrayal of a healer who uses snake venom. The story is rich and well executed in terms of plot and character arc. One of my favorite Nebula award winners. Highly recommend 4/5. #booksky 💙📚🪐

Starred Review: THE CURVE OF THE WORLD by Vonda McIntyre
Publishers Weekly: A gentle elegiac tone pervades this stunning posthumous historical fantasy from multi–Hugo and Nebula award winner McIntyre (Dreamsnake), who died in 2019. In ancient Crete, Iakinthu, a former bull dancer, is at the apex of her second profession as chief diplomat-trader of her seafaring nation. To fulfill Minoan tradition, she must take her adopted son, Rhenthizu, to meet his birth mother in a faraway land no Minoan has ever visited, after which he will choose which woman to live with.
