Lots of fun...

This book truly offers a great deal of enjoyment. The story is engaging and filled with interesting plot twists that keep the reader hooked from start to finish. However, there is one major drawback. There are soooooo many typos throughout the text. It is quite distracting and takes away from the overall reading experience. Every time I come across a misspelled word or a grammar error, it jolts me out of the story and makes it difficult to fully immerse myself. If it weren't for these numerous typos, I would rate this book at five stars for certain. It's a shame because the content itself has so much potential. With a proper edit to correct all the errors, this book could be a real gem. As it stands now, it still has its charm, but the typos do detract from its overall quality.

Really really good.

This simple phrase holds a world of meaning. It can be used to describe a wide variety of things, from a delicious meal to an outstanding performance. When we say something is "really really good," we are expressing our high level of satisfaction and approval.

It implies that the thing in question has exceeded our expectations and left a lasting impression. Maybe it was a book that we couldn't put down, a movie that made us laugh and cry, or a song that touched our hearts.

Using this phrase also shows our enthusiasm and excitement. It's a way of sharing our positive experience with others and encouraging them to check it out for themselves. So the next time you come across something that is truly remarkable, don't be afraid to say "really really good" and let the world know how great it is.

I truly miss Roger. Despite the flaws that are present, I still found enjoyment in this. It's a fantasy tale that has a certain vibe similar to that of The Princess Bride, with a bit of humor thrown in. However, the typos and grammar errors in it are simply atrocious. It's clear that someone desperately needs to take the time to run this through a spell check and at least use Grammarly. They could even pay an intern $20 to read through it and fix the big, glaring errors. The Kindle edition, in particular, reads as if someone did an OCR of a book and then published it without any proofreading whatsoever. It's quite disappointing, really, because the story itself has potential, but these errors are really detracting from the overall experience.

This is one of those fantasy books that simply didn't age well.

The jokes that once seemed clever now come off as stale, and the plot, which was already overly long, makes the characters feel dumbfounded.

They constantly find themselves going on mini-side quests, which is the best way I can explain the strange tendency to stop and do random things for people.

If you're an older reader who was into Roger Zelazny during the 80's - 90's, this book might hold some nostalgia for you.

However, for any later generations of readers, it's probably best to avoid this book as it doesn't really fit with their current interests.

The story lacks the modern pacing and depth that today's readers expect, and the characters don't have the complexity to engage a new audience.

It's a shame, really, as there are some interesting ideas in the book, but they're buried beneath a layer of outdated writing and a convoluted plot.

Perhaps if the book were rewritten and updated for a modern audience, it could have a new lease on life.

But as it stands, it's a relic of a bygone era that's best left on the shelf.

A very strange fantasy book lies before me. Its cover is a vivid tapestry of colors and images that seem to dance and swirl, inviting me into a world beyond my wildest imagination. As I open the pages, I am immediately drawn into a realm filled with magical creatures, ancient spells, and heroic quests.


The characters within these pages are as diverse as they are captivating. There is a brave knight, armed with a sword and a heart full of courage, ready to face any challenge that comes his way. There is also a wise old wizard, with a long white beard and a wealth of knowledge at his disposal. And then there is the young and curious maiden, who discovers that she has a special power within her that could change the fate of the entire world.


As I read on, I find myself completely immersed in this strange and wonderful fantasy world. The author's descriptive language brings every scene to life, making me feel as if I am right there, experiencing it all for myself. It is a book that challenges my mind and stretches my imagination, taking me on a journey that I will never forget.

This is a truly captivating and delightfully humorous fantasy mosaic that Zelazny ingeniously conceived near the conclusion of his life.

He penned a prelude, a postlude, and several interstitial pieces. However, the main body of the book consists of four novelettes or novellas crafted by Michael A. Stackpole, David Drake, Robert Lynn Asprin, and Jane Lindskold respectively.

The central idea is that following a thrilling battle in a fantastical world, the powerful objects that were amassed as wizardly weapons must be returned. This is because if they remain in close proximity to one another, they have the potential to significantly affect the very nature of reality.

Four heroes from the war are chosen to undertake this crucial task. Meanwhile, the victorious prince and his princess remain in the capital, busily preparing for their joyous nuptials and momentous coronation.

But as it turns out, things are not as they initially appear, and events do not unfold in the expected manner. Instead, we are treated to a series of hilarious events and outrageously horrendous puns along the way. It's an absolute riot of fun! If you happened to enjoy The Princess Bride, then this book is sure to be a treat for you as well.
