Review: Another Fine Myth

Another Fine Myth by Robert Lynn Asprin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The "Myth Adventures" series centers around Skeeve, a lowly magician's apprentice, and Aahz, a demon. It's pure silliness of the best kind, full of swords and sorcery, magic and mayhem -- but mainly, con artists.

Asprin makes heavy use of adverbs, especially when his characters are speaking. Skeeve, or Aahz, or anybody really, always says something "drily," or "sarcastically," or "menacingly." The -ly really gets a workout.

These stories are kept short and simple, and they evoke strong cartoon-like images. Lots of fun, signifying nothing.

I read this for Bedtime Reading from March to May, 2024
