by is so good-written and so much fun I am reading it for the third time this year.

Because of him writing only for the comic book industry these days, I am even thinking about re-reading 's stuff I have read as a teen - low fantasy seems such a fun genre for me right now!

@Robfromca @karlthefog I guess this is the Sutro Heights tower wrote about in Our Lady of Darkness? I see now what he was getting at. Even the same color scheme.

Soon, he graduates to assassin, and discovers something he likes even better: *killing* Dragareans.

If you enjoy witty, fast-moving sword-and-sorcery - say, the works of - you will *love* those early Vlad books. If you like the wordplay and propulsive plotting of , those early books will knock your socks off.

@bookstodon I should probably mention something I've read myself. I don't remember which book it was in the series (I don't have them anymore) but one of the Fafhard and the Grey Mouser books by has a scene involving rats that made quite the impression on a younger me.
Not into rats normally...

Erstes -Abenteuer (relativ) erfolgreich abgeschlossen:
„Aramandias Abgrund“ (Soloabenteuer aus dem Entfesselten Ettin Nr. 1 von @Glgnfz und Martin vom ).
Der Autor (Ma.) hat gleich zu Beginn ein leichtfertiges Wort eingeflochten: LANKHMAR ⚔️
Nachdem mein Charakter das Zeitliche gesegnet hatte, zog ich also den AD&D 2e-Band „Mythen & Legenden“ aus dem Regal. Da steht nämlich ein netter Überblick zu den Schöpfungen von drin! 🤠

I’m reading one of the bleakest stories I’ve ever read, it’s A Pail of Air. It’s narrated by a kid telling the story of how a passing star pushed the Earth away from the Sun and the devastating after effects. Earth is nearly a frozen tundra with little breathable air. The boy built a little shelter for his family. Every once in a while the kid goes outside with a bucket and thaws frozen air over a fire so their atmosphere is breathable.
