A series of three linked novellas. I like the two heroes, both in their own stories (the first two) and even more together (in Ill Met in Lankhmar). Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser interact well, and the world– particularly Lankhmar– is rich. Their incredible expertise and youth are a little hard to buy [I mean, we didn’t see Fafhrd train with a sword at all in his background story; the same goes for the Grey Mouser.)
The final story is tragic and well done and certainly drops the two into the fire. I’ll keep an eye out for some of their other novels to continue enjoying their partnership.
