This series is one of my all-time favorite fantasy series, but it's been probably 10 years since I read the original trilogy. This one didn't blow me away like those books, but it had the same fantastical, emo, gothic, fairy tale feeling. Tanith Lee is often hit or miss with me, I've read many short stories from her that bored me to tears, but I liked ALL the stories in this collection, so I definitely recommend it, especially if you've read the other books and you like dark, fantastic fiction.

Although this volume is perhaps the weakest of the 5 published in the Flat Earth series, the consistent flavor of the writing, the energy of the phantasmagorical imagery and the lovely, cyclical ending keep it consistent with the brilliance of the rest of the series.

This road took me fifteen years to complete. Since I read Night's Master, the flat earth of Tanith Lee has become a part of me. This particular book, the last in the series, is more similar to that very first one; separate stories barely conected between them, without much of the epicness of the fourth book. The great characters and unbound imagination, alas, persisted in all of them.

No sé porqué dejé este pendiente de la serie pero me alegra haberlo conocido al fin. Aunque no es una continuación directa, definitivamente tiene lo mejor del worldbuilding y el estilo que caracteriza al resto de las historias de Flat Earth (a veces bastante oscuro, a veces divertido y astuto, a veces tierno) en forma de diversas historias, con el plus de que una de ellas habla del destino de Azhriaz.

Este es un mundo tan fascinante que es imposible no disfrutar regresar a él aunque sea para conocer ciertos detalles tangenciales de personajes o cosas conocidas.

Why is everything written by Tanith Lee so gorgeous?! What a unique style. "Dreamlike" doesn't even begin to describe her writing.

I recommend the entire series to anyone who loves mythology and fantastic romance/tragedy.
