Masque World by Alexei Panshin

jonathanpalfrey's review against another edition

4.0

This is a relatively uneventful episode in the life of Anthony Villiers (Lord Charteris) and his travelling companion Torve the Trog. Things happen, to be sure, and they're quite diverting, but they're not particularly important; and most of the characters we've already met are offstage throughout. It would make an acceptable filler between the second and fourth books in this series; unfortunately, Panshin planned a fourth book but never managed to write it.

If you enjoyed the first two books, you'll probably enjoy this one too. I think it's not quite as good as the others; but my reaction to each book depends somewhat on the mood I'm in when reading.

Weird and absurdist, but ultimately delightful.
