4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun and Funny Light Reading,
This review is from: Death and Thraxas (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is about a sort of private investigator, Thraxas, who has the typical bumbling traits of a comic detective, including a rude manner (more offensive than hard-bitten) and an obsession with beer and gambling. Together with his sometime sidekick Makri, an escaped gladiator from the Orc Pits who is the first female student to attend the Guild College who works as a chainmail bikini-wearing waitress at the local tavern the Avenging Axe and just so happens to be the best warrior in the entire city of Turai, they run around offending people and solving crimes.
This is basically just fun comic fantasy, not epic or life-changing, but wonderful for anyone who likes the Hawk and Fisher series or Terry Pratchett's novels. I highly reccommend it.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Death and Thraxas (Mass Market Paperback)
Thraxas is a not-well-enough-known series of funny fantasy mystery novels, kinda like Hawk&Fisher visit Discworld.
Important to note that Death and Thraxas is two complete hard to find novels- "Thraxas at the Races" & "Thraxas and the Elvish Isles", both out of print. Oddly, this world uses Vancian Magic! |
