Swords in the Mist by Fritz Leiber
All due respect to the late Fritz Leiber, but overall, this book was weak… contradictions concerning their memory (they supposedly lost all knowledge of their previous life in the world of Newhon, but yet they make references to it), adventures told as second-hand accounts, and a prose that seems meant to be humorous and clever, only made the story confusing and monotonous… I didn’t get it. I’m a big fan of Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser, or at least of their first two books. But if Swords in the Mist had been my first Lankhmar book, I don’t think I’d have read any more of them… Read the rest.
