This was my first trip into Majipoor, so I can't comment on how well or badly it fits into the Cycle. The book grabbed me and I felt fully immersed in the world Silverberg has created. if I had one criticism, there were passages that talked about endless new places and peoples, and after a while it became impossible to rememebr them - and they weren't on the map either. I hope I didn't miss anything, and the seeming throwaway references were meant as such. Perhaps Majipoor regulars woul dhave taken more from those sections than I did. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
For Jim Burns
who has shown me how
Majipoor really looks
First words
The coronation ceremony, with its ancient ritual incantations and investitures and ringing trumpet-calls, and the climactic donning of the crown and the royal robes, had ended fifty minutes ago.
