crowfood's review against another edition

Perhaps the best of the series.
Only gripes:
1) The female characters in each book were token and shallow, but that seems to be true of a lot of sci-fi of the time.
2) The conclusion of this (and the other novels in the series) seemed abrupt and a bit anticlimactic.

Brings the entire sequence to a fascinating conclusion by directly questioning the nature of revenge itself. Full review: https://fakegeekboy.wordpress.com/2022/03/16/interstellar-hit-list-infernal-targets/

"I am done.", thus ends Vance's strangest work, the Demon Princes. With its strange villains, who are more interesting than the hero, oddball societies, unrelated story inclusions, footnotes and info dumps, it's the quintessential Vance series, hard to believe it was finished almost forty years ago. The hero is more introspective in this one, trying at times to lead a normal life, at the end of the story I feel that he's lost his reason for living and may not find another one.
