(  ) flurryofdarkness | Oct 19, 2009 |  A nice compilation of short stories based in Silverberg's world of Majipoor. I really enjoyed the story 'Thief of Nimoya'. Not quite as good as Lord Valentine's Castle Majipoor Cycle Book 1, but definately still worth a read if you have an interest in Majipoor. It covers stories from many different times in Majipoor's past (  ) LadyofWinterfell | Sep 21, 2009 | Just as good as Lord Valentine's castle with a bit more variety. Many of the same weaknesses though...see my review of that book. (  ) vamshi | Jul 14, 2009 | Majipoor Chronicles - Robert Silverberg Majipoor, Book 2; SF; 7/10 I read Silverberg's first Majipoor book, Lord Valentine's Castle, many years ago and really liked it, but I never got into this book of short stories. I reread Lord Valentine's Castle again last year and bought myself this book to have another go. It turned out to take me a long time to read my way through - I'm really not a short story reader - but I actually really enjoyed my trip through the past of Majipoor. It's not a totally amazing book, but explains and expands on a lot of things mentioned briefly in the first book. I'm now planning to go on and read the third in the trilogy, although I don't know when that wil be. ( ) rocalisa | Sep 20, 2008 | The second Majipoor book is a story collection, wrapped inside the actions of the character Hissune. As part of his training for government, he has access to the Soul Record on Majipoor, and hence can look into the stories of some of its citizens, and does so. This peripheral character from Valentine's time continues to have a linking narrative and thoughts before each story.

| Book description |
|
Treachery and wizardry run rampant under the reign of the mighty Pontifex, as both the rightful and the unworthy heirs to the throne anxiously await his demise. Korsibar, son of the current Coronal, plots with his twin sister and ambitious companions to seize the power of the Coronal when his father ascends to the throne of the Pontifex.
But the burdens of the crown and scepter exact more of a price than Korsibar is prepared to pay. His rival fights to take his appointed place as keeper of his beloved Majipoor...and to resbackse order to the utter chaos that has befallen their world.
"Silverberg has created a big planet, chock-a-block with life and potential sbacksies." -- The Washing Post
