This review is from: Kothar of the Magic Sword (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is definitely an improvement on the second. Fox was getting the hang of it.

Kothar loses his sword to an emperor, and has to go on a quest with a thief to get the key to a dimensional portal.

All doesn't go well and he ends up chained to a dancing girl, fighting a giant bear.

A bit of otherworldly travel follows in that adventure.

In the second part, the witch Red Lori from the first novel has done a deal with a demoness to possess the daughter of a friend of his, and he has to agree to free the witch from her silver cage to release the girl.

(REAL NAME)   

Kothar stole the helix form the fat emperor of Avalonia. It was the only way he could hope to recover his magic sword Frostfire from the belly of the Great Eagle of Nirvalla. But the original theft of the helix was to embroil Kothar in even more uncanny adventures. An "ice being," an eerie creature even in Kothar's world, used the helix for his own dark purpose. Trying to forget the beautiful Laella-driven away by the witch Red Lori-Kothar agreed to deliver another lovely girl from the sinester followers of the god Polthoom. Even with the magic sword flashing in his powerful hands, it was the bloodiest, weirdest, most blood-chilling adventure of his life. Written by Gardner Fox, who many consider the greatest comic book writer of all time, responsible for the revival of Flash, The Justice Society of America and many others.
