Title: A Must For Any Serious Fan of Fantasy
Review: Fritz Leiber has a mastery of the language unmatched by any other author of fantasy I've read, and for that reason alone is worthy of recommendation to any fantasy enthusiast. His words sing and the vividness of his descriptions bring his characters and settings alive in a way unparalled by any of our contemporary writers. The only reason this collection of loosely linked tales did not merit a full five stars was the uneveness between the narratives, some stories richly rendered and fully resolved, others, such as "The Unholy Grail," "The Circle Curse," and "The Price of Pain-Ease" only sketchily conceived and less strongly written. Nevertheless, the short story "The Snow Women" alone is worth the price of admission.
