Where it sits

Awards (verified)

  • Locus Award (Best Fantasy Novel), 1994: won; locusmag.com's own online archive does not reach back to 1994; confirmed instead via two independent sources, Worlds Without End's own award-record page and Wikipedia's dedicated Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel article (which lists Beagle as that year's winner), per this project's fallback-to-independent-cross-check practice when a primary results page is unreachable.
  • World Fantasy Award (Best Novel), 1994: nominated; Per Worlds Without End's own award-record page. Did not win.
  • Mythopoeic Award (Adult Literature), 1994: nominated; Per Worlds Without End's own award-record page. Did not win.

Notes

  • Roc, 1993. Multiple-narrator quest novel; the sole full novel in this continuity, per the LOTR-analogy single-work convention.

Neighbouring works

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
