Title: Not a magical ending alas
Product review: What is wrong with this book, which pales against the superb vibrant, middle of the series titles Swords Against Death, Swords in a Mist, and The Swords of Lankhmar, all towering classics of fantasy? Firstly there is little sophistication,mystery or magic here, Leibers style has deteriorated sharply into dull, long winded self mockery in his advancing years. Secondly Rime isle is a sadly boring, mundane place quite unfitted for our two oh so worldy wise heroes to end their days. Thirdly those self-same heroes themselves have deteriorated into middle age tedium, most alarmingly, rather like their creator appears to have done. If you dont mind all that, then buy the book.
