5.0 out of 5 stars
Reminiscent of Jack Vance's Cugel tales,
This review is from: Fain the Sorceror (Paperback)
Twenty-three chapters or mini-tales recount how Fain the Gardener becomes Fain the Sorcerer--although even Fain is never sure how or when. Fain is not as clever as he thinks but he's overall lucky, as he walks, plummets, teleports, and otherwise enters a series of bizarre situations and encounters kings, sorcerers, and supernatural beings with strange obsessions (one of which tends to be killing Fain). The book is structured around clever new twists on the three wishes and another old theme--to reveal that here would be a spoiler. A sardonic sense of humor renders the atmosphere Vance-like, especially after Fain is bound by a geas that forbids him to lie and remain alive.
