The reader of earlier Majipoor books will enjoy this title. The Prestimion trilogy is set many years before the Valentine books, and the King of Dreams is an established, terrifying figure in those. Now eponymous, this is the story of his origins.

A great ending to the Majipoor cycle. So good, it makes me sad to see it end. I read the previous two in the Prestimion series almost a year ago and kept putting this one off to read other things. I had found "Lord Prestimion" less satisfying than "Sorcerers of Majipoor" much as "Majipoor Chronicles" was not as good as "Lord Valentine's Castle." Unlike "Valentine Pontifex," however, "King Of Dreams" was as good as "Sorcerers" and a great read. Truly a delight. Silverberg is purely amazing. No one writes and worldbuilds like this. (

Epigraph

And Lord Stiamot wept when he heard them singing the ballad of
his great victory at Weygan Head, because the Stiamot of which they
sang was not the Stiamot he knew. He was not himelf any more. He
had been emptied into legend. He had been a man, and now he was a
fable.
