"Description is most effective when it is woven into the action, and best when it comes with an emotional charge by being filtered through a character's perceptions. If they are at home in the world, the characters will not spend a lot of time concentrating on the details."--Lisa Tuttle, Writing Fantasy and Science Fiction
