Fafhrd y el Ratonero Gris son contratados para escoltar a la bella y elusiva hija de un mercader en un peligroso viaje por mar. El viaje es, evidentemente, de naturaleza algo accidentada… Los dos aventureros ven frustrados una y otra vez sus avances amoroso, se encuentran con un dragón marino dotado de un olfato finísimo, y atraviesan situaciones mucho más peligrosas de lo previsto. Y, entre una cosa y otra, ratas, muchas ratas, una verdadera invasión de ratas que llega a alcanzar dimensiones diabólicas, y un periplo alucinante a través de otro Lankhmar dentro de Lankhmar. This is another strong release in the Farhrd and the Gray Mouser series. The story here is split into several (relatively long) short stories that handle a single plot. Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser are recruited by two young women (surprise, surprise) to bring military assistance to the Rime Islands in exchange of gold (surprise once again). This is an epic story full of love, battles and nasty sorcerers, while gods supposedly coming from another world (Loki and Odin) mingle with a tense situation. Overall a fun story, very much action-oriented with a few reflections on the nature of gods and the place of religion. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Stories of sword and sorcery by a Grand Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy! In Swords and Ice Magic, Fafhrd and Gray Mouser discover how the sadness of the Executioner creates a macabre dance from the point of view of the choreographer. Beauties and beasts explain the dual nature of all life's creatures. Trapped in the Shadowland, our dogmatic duo finds the dualities of swords and needles, maps and territories, girls and demons, mortals and gods, learning of the mischievous vanity of the gods. Lost at sea, Gray Mouser becomes a natural philosopher, drifting, captive of the Great Equatorial Current. He wonders about fire and ice, about women and men, until they arrive at Rime Isle, a tragic comedy of a place, wandering gods and restless mortals, a comedy with puppets and puppet masters. Before The Lord of the Rings took the world by storm, Leiber's fantastic but thoroughly flawed antiheroes, Fafhrd and Gray Mouser, adventured deep within the caves of Inner Earth, albeit a different one. 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. No library descriptions found. |

I sort of liked the fact that some previous characters appear in this story.
But didn't like the way every single female they had encountered in previous books appeared and just highlighted how 2 dimensional they mostly were. ( )
