first: a sorceress from a past aeon coming to the present to convert the wizards and thus restore her power. But she's again stopped by her former enemy (a good guy, obviously). Nice chapter, but it's in the next that you get to know the crew. A tale of jealousy and envy, but what goes around, comes around.

ready to read the final book, Rhialto The Marvellous.

... or, don't seek personal revenge, because that is not going to end the circle. On the contrary, it might get worse. All in all, another nice read, though less exciting (and more nerve-wrecking) than "The Dying Earth", hence only 7/10.

Book 2 is done, "The Eyes Of The Overworld". Like I said before, I feel like kicking Cugel's ass, for everywhere he comes, he leaves a path of destruction, death, ... has no respect for customs, profites from others' actions, and yet, one can't help feel to choose his side too when he's cornered. On the other hand, in the end you sort of get the message: what goes around, comes around...

Part 1 is done: The Dying Earth. Very nice stories with almost unearthly scenes. But what did please me the most was the writing style. Very lyric, very... refreshing, one could say, in this day and age. Points of the Belgian jury: a solid 8/10.

Now onto part 2: The Eyes Of The Overworld.
