Regocíjate, oh, lector, porque sostienes en tus manos una nueva entrega de las aventuras de Fafhrd y el Ratonero Gris, la pareja de aventuraros más famosa y entrañable de este y cualquier otro universo. Conocerás cómo sus romances con Cif y Afreyt logran mantenerlos alejados de los oscuros callejones de Lankhmar y cómo, hasta cierto punto, abandonan una vida tempestuosa y se entregan a los riesgos más prosaicos del comercio y la vida doméstica. Claro que aun así sus caminos pueden cruzarse con el de una extraña criatura marina capaz de metamorfosearse en la más voluptuosa de las doncellas, o bien puede ocurrir que los dioses de Nehwon los castiguen con pequeña maldiciones personales… It is a pretty strong release, even though it feels always pretty strange to see (very) short stories alternating with much longer ones. I think this is one of the climaxes of the series as it portrays our two heroes growing older and kind of retiring from the adventuring scene. It is tender and epic (despite the retirement process) and makes the two heroes feel more human than they used to in the first volumes of the series. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The final book in the seminal sword and sorcery series featuring Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser from the Grand Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy. The highly regarded British horror author Ramsey Campbell called Fritz Leiber "the greatest living writer of supernatural horror fiction." Drawing many of his own themes from the works of Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and H. P. Lovecraft, master manipulator Fritz Leiber is a worldwide legend within the fantasy genre, actually having coined the term sword and sorcery that would describe the subgenre he would more than help create. While The Lord of the Rings took the world by storm, Leiber's fantastic but thoroughly flawed antiheroes, Fafhrd and Grey Mouser, adventured and stumbled deep within the caves of Inner Earth as well, albeit a different one than Tolkien's. They wondered and wandered to the edges of the Outer Sea, across the Land of Nehwon and throughout every nook and cranny of gothic Lankhmar, Nehwon's grandest and most mystically corrupt city. Lankhmar is Leiber's fully realized, vivid incarnation of urban decay and civilization's corroding effect on the human psyche. Fafhrd and Mouse are not innocents; their world is no land of honor and righteousness. It is a world of human complexities and violent action, of discovery and mystery, of swords and sorcery.

Although it lacked the verve of the adventures from all of the previous stories, there is a kind of bravery here, to write a closing book that also somehow avoids answering everything. This does feel like the ending that these characters would get to; it feels like a natural progression even if it's a departure from the established prose.
And although the stories lack the same kind of adventure we'd come to expect, it's always clear we're in the hands of a playful and accomplished writer; ever paragraph is interesting and well-written. The prose compels you as much as the adventure might have.
(I rescind my previous advice; it would be fascinating to read this book and then comb through the other adventures... knowing where they're going but still enjoying how they get there.) ( )
