When I was in high school, several of my friends swore by the Thieves' World series. I never really got into it, but having read Lynn Abbey's sequel I regret it. This is a great book.

I read the original series and liked it. I only found out recently that Lynn Abbey resurrected the series. I liked this book. What made it interesting was that it blended a few different stories into one, and did so seamlessly. It takes place long after book 12 of the original Thieves' World series ends.

It took a little while to get into this book as there were so many characters, including gods it was a bit confusing. Once they are all established it's hard to put down.
