Product Description

Things are going all too well in the city of Quaint. So well, in fact, that something has to be done. The zeal for goodness can be catastrophic, and no-one knows this better than Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, two stalwart champions of all things bad. For the innumerable citizens of Quaint, driven to neurotic distraction and overwhelmed with good living, desperation breeds nefarious bed-mates, and before long the two homicidal necromancers - and their beleaguered and substance-addled manservant, Emancipor Reese - find themselves ensnared in a scheme to bring goodness into disrepute, if not utter ruination. To Reese's bemusement, laudable motivations are, in a bizarre twist, uncharacteristically relevant to Master Bauchelain, although, of course, the payment of a chest filled with gold helps. Even so, sometimes, it turns out, one must bring down civilization... in the name of civilization.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another small gem from Steven Erikson, Feb 16 2006

By	R. Nicholson - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

A great fantasy read!

This is another sordid short story from Steven Erikson involving Bauchelain, Korbal Broach and Emancipor Reese: We'd last left our despicable trio of heroes on their urgent (and expedient) departure from the town of "Lamentable Moll". Now we pick up their trail near the town of "Quaint"; a town and its "kindly" king are soon to know the devastating affect that comes from a visit from these three traveling companions.

Again, as with the first book ( Blood Follows), it's Erikson wonderful use of descriptive language that has that ability to take you, the reader, into the places described in the book; that dank, foreboding atmosphere, the edgy feeling for ones safe being that makes this novella a pleasure to read. And yet, despite that gravity of the overall story there were even a couple of times that made me laugh out loud.

All in all, an enjoyable story, told with typical Erikson literary style and skill. If you liked " The Malazan Book of the Fallen" series or "Blood Follows" you'll enjoy this.
