The Dancers of Arun is a fantasy novel by American writer Elizabeth A. Lynn, published in 1979. Plot summary. "The Dancers of Arun" is a novel that is the second part of The Chronicles of Tornor series. Reception. Greg Costikyan reviewed "The Dancers of Arun" in "Ares Magazine" #5 and commented that "The primary thrust of the novels is their Message: that we can live in harmony, that capitalism is not necessary since we can all share in love and wonderfulness, and that all problems can be solved if we have the courage to be human . Nice enough, but hardly earth-shattering." "Kirkus Reviews" states "Lynn is to be admired for attempting serious things in the fantasy genre, but here nothing quite works: the settings remain faceless despite any amount of description; the love story awkwardly combines homosexual incest and drenching sentimentality; and Lynn's prose style is laconic to the point of numbness. A gifted writer, gone much astray."
