Ladyhawke is a novel by Joan D. Vinge published in 1985.
Plot summary
[edit]Ladyhawke is a novelization of the film Ladyhawke.[1]
Reception
[edit]Dave Langford reviewed Ladyhawke for White Dwarf #65, and stated that "Have fun spotting the obligatory film cliches - as when someone's running, hotly pursued, down an empty road; stumbles and falls; finds himself staring at mere inches' range at the boots (here hooves) of a previously unnoticed stranger. . . But Vinge's clear, witty writing makes up for much."[1]
John C. Bunnell reviewed Ladyhawke in Dragon Magazine (September 1985) and said that "Until very recently, novelizations of science-fiction and fantasy films weren't worthy of serious critical attention — largely because the films on which they were based were somewhat thinly conceived. But matters have steadily improved lately, and Joan Vinge's translation of Ladyhawke into book form proves once and for all that the task is worth doing."[2]
