"Plenty of adventure and a dollop of humor" spark the final fantasy in this "intriguing and delightfully funny series" by the author of Spell of Fate (Locus).   When the Great Karlini's laboratory catches on fire, Maximillian the Vaguely Disreputable knows it's a sign of bad things to come. The last battle between gods and mortals is looming; before it does, certain answers must come to light. Just who is the Creeping Sword? Will Shaa free himself from the curse his brother inflicted upon him? And most important of all, who will be left standing? The Dance of Gods concludes in a fast-paced final movement.   "This is a charming, lighthearted fantasy. The gods are so klutzy and the magic is so ill-fated that the reader smiles through dungeons, fire and death . . . The action is non-stop and always exciting. The final fight is a doozy . . . An amusing climax in which all story lines from the earlier volumes come to a conclusion." --Voya   "Zany, entertaining reading for anyone who enjoyed the first three books of the Dance of Gods series." --Kliatt   "Wild and woolly adventure abounding with inept sorcery, strange gods and downright funny fantasy." --Rave Reviews Book Club… (more)

Incredibly disappointing last installment. The last quarter of the book is one unsatisfying anti-climax after another. While the world-changing cataclysm itself is not disappointing, everything just falls flat afterward. ( )
