Aurealis Awards 2007 Judges' Report
The Taste of Lightning by Kate Constable was enormously readable and wonderfully entertaining with lots of engaging action and characters to cheer for and boo against. It was thoroughly enjoyable with excellent usage of speculative fiction elements. The differences in the backgrounds, personalities and motivations of Tansy, Perrin and Skir are used to good effect in the story of their journey. The tension and dilemmas created by these differences are what makes this such an enjoyable read.
