I was attracted by the authors, but I had heard disappointing things about the results, so I have avoided it.Dr. Obscurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14915912787477812255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-12435490438696087792014-04-16T23:25:56.963-04:002014-04-16T23:25:56.963-04:00Thanks for the recommendation, Aaron!

As CC said, the aggravatingly human elements are the best parts. Worth going back to again and again.<br /><br />If you haven't read it, the tribute collection Songs of the Dying Earth is worthwhile as well. It's not Vance himself, but it's still an enjoyable take on the Dying Earth by known authors who are also fans.gregarious monkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395307601332415834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-69638719429341345802014-04-13T12:28:21.367-04:002014-04-13T12:28:21.367-04:00Indeed!Indeed!Akrasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734103159691571156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-31128800709368754762014-04-13T07:46:26.288-04:002014-04-13T07:46:26.288-04:00I love how all the grand science fantasy time-and-...I love how all the grand science fantasy time-and-space-travel adventuring of Rhialto and Co. is constantly interrupted and undercut by extended bouts of bickering and pettifoggery. And what's more, those are the best bits.ClawCarverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236809815213343281noreply@blogger.com
