    4,0 van 5 sterren Sixth book....

    While this isn't a novel, Fritz Leiber only wrote one novel of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, the short stories do fit together to make a nice, overhanging plot. Starring Death, the sea, and the Gods, some from there and some from here, the book is full of adventure, action, and mystery.
    I had to take one star away for the fact that much of it does feel the same - just a slightly different version than the stories printed before.
    On the other hand, it was nice to see Loki and Odin starring in a fantasy book.

    3,0 van 5 sterren Lacks a bit of the old magic, and lots of Kindle transcription errors
    Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 25 november 2013
    Geverifieerde aankoop
    Six short stories and two longer ones: the sadness of the executioner (in which Death wants to kill himself some heroes); Beauty and the beasts (very short); Trapped in the Shadowland (Death still trying); the bait (very short); Under the thumbs of the Gods (Issek and Mog strike back, and many girls are remembered); Trapped in the sea of stars (dreamy and philosophical troubles at sea); the Frost Monstreme and Rime isle. These last two are of a quest in the far North, where our heroes are lured to by two seductive ladies - how else? Rime Isle is threatened by the Sea Mingols, and some ancient Norse Gods need the help of two established Heroes to withstand the invasion... Possibly. Maybe the Gods, as always, have different purposes then mere men...

    My opinion: published in 1975, this collection has a very different 'feel' to the older stories (which i love, five stars the lot!). It is like this has been written by someone else, or Leiber got bored and needed to fulfil a contract, or he was going through a bad spell... Whatever the reason, I think this is pretty flat stuff which never really lifts off. Plus the Kindle version is full of OCR transcription errors - why did no-one proofread this? Very irritating, this, and doesn't do a moderate book any good.

    5,0 van 5 sterren Pulp, swords, theft, wizards, seduction, angry gods, irritable Death - you know, the usuals

    Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series has become one of those series that I pace out for comfort reasons as much as anything. I want to devour them all (and sadly, this is the penultimate volume), but I know that they’re going to bring me joy and fun, so I hold off on them until I need a nice dose of happiness. So of course Swords and Ice Magic made for a great vacation read this year. Unabashedly pulpy as ever, the sixth volume in the series finds our boys being pursued by a very annoyed death, dealing with some abandoned gods who decide to turn the tables on the ever-priapic heroes, and in the middle of a feud that’s much older than they could realize as they’re drafted into the battle for an icy land. Your enjoyment of these will undeniably hinge on how much you love a pulpy writing style (and, yes, our heroes are definitely prone to viewing women entirely in terms of their beauty and in sexual terms; that being said, Leiber has a tendency to give women the upper hand more often than you might think, but the objectification is undeniably real and prevalent), but Leiber’s refusal to take his world too seriously and willingness to embrace the sheer adventuring, wild spirit of his tales (to say nothing of actually shaking up the status quo a bit at the end!) is what always brings me back to these drolly funny, engaging tales.
