highly entertaining read. apparently this is pretty seminal for the modern fantasy genre and i get it. writing definitely has a distinct flavor - whip fast, gripping, zany and humorous - and zelazny is able to create a really rich fantasy work in a shot glass size of a book. story had a pulpy noir-esque feel to it in the beginning then flows into a rollicking high fantasy adventure. there’s a quippishness to the prose that i found endearing for the most part. some memorable tongue in cheek lines that were unique and beyond stupid that they somehow stood out as brilliant to me (lol).
i snubbed out my cigarette, picked up another, and removed perhaps two hundred pounds from my feet by resting in a brown upholstered chair beside his bookcase.
so we fought on, and i was down to a hundred men. let's be brief. they killed everyone but me
glad i got to sample some of this author's writing and will prolly check out more in this series and some of his standalones in the future.

Ugh, I hated it. I didn't care for the main character at all. Everything felt choppy and rushed.

Maybe it's the first person perspective. Maybe it's all the booze and cigarettes. It felt more like a Raymond Chandler novel than a fantasy epic.
Nevar nosaukt pat par fanfika līmeņa stilu, jo pat tur ir labāki rakstnieki.
