I read this many (*cough* - decades) ago. I don’t remember if I was in love with it then, but I was enthralled by the Chaoism Thieves’ World box set for D&D. I got much mileage out of it—and still own it! Sans box.

This time around, I found the stories a bit of a roller coaster. There were ups and downs. Most were refreshing in a swords and sorcery way; containing the ingredients most modern fantasy lacks.

I have never read beyond this volume. Will I now? Maybe. That is the most solid answer I can give.
