5.0 out of 5 stars More brilliant than a galaxy full of stars!, Dec 1 2003

By	Madelyn Pryor "Goblyn Queen" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Myth Conceptions (Paperback)

Robert Asprin has done it again! In this, the second book in the Myth series, our unlikely trio of Skeeve- former thief want-to-be and current magicians apprentice; Aahz- demon master magician currently unable to use any magic because his powers were removed as part of a practical joke gone horribly wrong; and Gleep- baby dragon with the worst breath in all of Klah!

This time they find themselves trying to get a job as court magicians, since everyone knows that being a court magician is the cushiest job in all the dimensions. But this job comes with perils, and our trio find themselves in the middle of a war, where they're doomed whether they win or loose!

Myth Conceptions is wonderful, a fantasy/comedy that once you pick up, you will not be able to put down! It's absolutely one of the best books ever! As an added bonus, it's all ages. So get a copy for yourself and your friends. Once they see how much fun you're having reading this book they're going to want to borrow it and you're going to be too busy reading it for a second time!

3.0 out of 5 stars For a quick fantasy frolic, Skeeve's your man, Jan 11 2002

By	Amy Krug "amykk25" (Centerville, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Myth Conceptions (Paperback)

Never having been able to get into fantasy books, I didn't have a lot of confidence approaching Asprin's "Myth" series, though it had been highly recommended.

I was plesantly surprised - "Myth Conceptions" was funny and entertaining. It's not exactly going to win any literary awards, mind you, but it was good nonetheless. Where other fantasy novels get bogged down in explaining setting and mythology in great detail, Asprin concentrates more on characters and relationships (and comical character names).

Don't pick this up and expect a hard-core fantasy novel; it's not. Instead, pick it up as a quick, entertaining read and you won't be disappointed. Recommended for anyone who thinks a lizard named "Berfert" is amusing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Living the Fantasy, Nov 9 2001

By	"sanchee" (Europe) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Myth Conceptions (Paperback)

Yet again, Asprin has shown us how to look beyond our borders in trough a easy reading adventure of soon going to be Master Skeeve and his teacher, 'gentle' Aahz and their old and new friends - Tanda, Gus, Brockhurst, Ajax and others. Of course, their is also a baby dragon Gleep who with each day grows to a loving personality... An interested mixture of fantasy and reality which you shouldn't miss....

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it.
Robert Asprin is excellent. Skeeve, Aahz, Tananda and the others are awesome. The first 5 in the Myth Adventures series are marvelous.
