Fafhrd und der Gray Mouser sind wieder unterwegs. Wieder spannend und lustig, nicht ganz so witzig wie der erste Teil, daher ein Punkt Abzug. Auch weil die Kurzgeschichten eben kurz sind und einige Sprünge in der Handlung vornehmen.

I had low-ish expectations for the author that wrote Conan the Barbarian, but this was pretty great! Fun masculine sword and sorcery romps. Leiber influenced Terry Pratchett and was influenced by H. P. Lovecraft, two authors who I wouldn't have mentioned together, but are now to me obviously in the same line, centered by Leiber.

Hands down the best adventure stories I've ever read.

"The Jewels in the Forest" is particularly strong.

adru's review against another edition

Paavli kaltsukas varustab taas klassikalugudega: yyratu peen sõnavara e-v pätitegude kirjeldamiseks ja tundub, et autor hoidis kirjutades vaevu naeru tagasi. Aeg-ajalt oli isegi põnev ja õudne ja lõbus, kui kõik need pääluud ja tegelased seal ringi sebisid.

Más y más aventuras. Al estar los relatos escritos en diferentes épocas y aquí reunidos cronológicamente, algunos de ellos bajan el nivel, aunque de manera casi imperceptible.

A por el siguiente.
