A review by crowfood
Creatures of Light and Darkness by Roger Zelazny
2.0
"We are here, sir, because we are not elsewhere," says Vramin. "and the table contains two men and a toad - all of whom, I should say, are your betters."
This was a strange read, which made slightly more sense after I found that it was originally just a writing exercise for Zelazny to try out different writing styles. He didn't originally intend to publish it as a novel.
So, yes, novel it is not. It has some elements similar to his earlier Lord of Light that I enjoyed, and some of his usual clever dialogue. But I couldn't say I recommend it, and instead you should go read the much more enjoyable (and meant to be a novel) Lord of Light.
