Book Reviews of Flashing swords! #1
Book Review: Flashing Swords full of fun
Summary: 4 Stars
This is classic sword and sorcery with a dash of fun. Those who criticize it on literary grounds do not know what they are talking about.
You can't go wrong with Leiber and Poul Anderson, and Lin Carter's addition shows real imagination, while spoofing the whole genre.
In fact, the "omniscient" viewpoint is perfect for this kind of story.
