"This really took me a long time to slog through. It's not because it was bad, or really even that I wasn't enjoying reading it, it just wasn't really what I was expecting. I really like Fafhrd and the Mouser, but all the previous books have been soft of a loosely-related series of short adventures, so it was maybe 20 or 30 pages of one thing and then on to the next. This one, though, was one solid novel, and was also about 100 pages longer than any of the previous volumes. So it seemed to lose some of its punch due to the length, and more due to the fact that the plot wasn't really interesting enough to sustain a story this long. It wasn't bad, but since you know going in that everything is going to turn out okay, I kind of felt like I had to turn a lot more pages than were strictly necessary to find out how."
"This classic sword-and-sorcery novel contains a rather unusual scene involving a threesome. The hero has made a romantic tryst with the mysterious woman he's been pursuing. He's surprised when she turns up together with her faithful maidservant, and even more surprised when she tells him what the deal is. He can kiss HER all he wants, but he has to do it while embracing the other chick. This unorthodox arrangement works out surprisingly well.
It turns out later that the mysterious woman had her reasons. I didn't guess them ahead of time, and neither did the hero!"
"Leiber is among the best of science fiction and fantasy writers. It would be hard not to notice the influence his body of work has had most especially on the fantasy genre. The only other writer of such notable import is Marion Zimmer Bradley."
