The Thieves World ongoing shared world series continues with #3. Some new authors this time, Vonda McIntyre, Paxson and Cherryh join the regulars. This is still high quality fantasy with a coherent story line, though by this point it is starting to wander off at times. ( )

The 3rd in the series. I was right, I enjoyed the 3rd more than the 2nd, because I was familiar with the characters. Must look for the first one. ( )

A group of authors develop a world that's dark and nasty and set their imaginations free and oh man do they do nasty things to their characters. As an exploration of a dark world it's interesting but in some ways I really didn't engage with any of the characters. ( )

Brilliant fantasy writing.. Funny, believable characters, action just left of centre keeps you guessing. Recommended read in my humble opinion. ( )
