A review by charles_t
Time and the Gods by Lord Dunsany by Lord Dunsany
3.0
2.5 stars. Quite a disappointing follow up to The Gods of Pegana.
That OG story, though overwritten, completely changed the way many authors of the early 20th century viewed fiction. It was one of the first major works to create an entirely new world. The Gods of Pegana focused on the gods of this universe first and foremost. It's still entertaining today.
But this feels a lot less focused and is hard to get through. The novelty of new places, deities and gods being created begins to wear off and it focuses more on the people of Dunsany's created cosmology. The people are very boring.
It took me 10 days to read this 70 page book.
