SynopsisBooks One and Two of Asprin's bestselling Myth series are now together in this two-in-one omnibus. In Another Fine Myth, Skeeve's master is murdered, and now this apprentice magician must deal with Aahz, a powerless demon summoned by the old magician as a joke. And in Myth Conceptions, Skeeve auditions for court magician at the court of Rodrick and, unfortunately, gets the job.
I got recommended this because a friend found out I liked books from Piers Anthony and Terry Pratchett. It was incredible. I read it all in 2 days. It's more than a fair comparison. I really enjoyed it--it's got a dry and quick humor that made me snicker out in public even. If you like either of the aforementioned, I guarantee this is a good read. And it's a light fantasy novel that doesn't tax too much. It's a very good balance. I wish it was longer, because it concludes too quickly and it seems like it should be longer, but it was still worth it.
I read these books in my teens and loved them. As a mature adult, I wanted to read them again and share them with my husband. Much to my delight, he loves them too! We are getting a kick out of the many Myth-adventures with Sleeve and Aahz!
