4.0 out of 5 stars
Good rousing derivative fun,
By
This review is from: The Warrior of World's End (Paperback)
This sword & sorcery novel is strongly derivative of Vance's The Dying Earth and Howard's Conan stories. On the other hand, it displays a fine sense of humour that is absent from both of its prototypes. One is reminded of Leiber's Fafhrd & Grey Mouser stories or even of Pratchett. For readers who find early Vance's tendencies to earnest prose poetry in the Dunsany - Ashton Smith mode a bit cloying, this book is actually preferable to The Dying Earth. Not one dull moment.
4.0 out of 5 stars
A fun romp,
By Vaughn Heppner (Turlock, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Warrior of World's End (Paperback)
This is a fun romp with some inventive creatures. A horde of blue monsters, four-feet wide at the shoulders and wielding iron bars and heavy branches, gives the heroes a good fight. This and the next of the series are some of Lin Carter's best fantasy if you like wild ideas and magician's castles. But the series rapidly loses power after the third one.
