![]() It sort of put me off Thomas Covenant or the Fionavar series, made me quickly abandon Beyond the Pale, and annoyed me throughout the half of Glory Road I read before tossing it. ![]() There's something awfully dated about portal fantasy (to me, at any rate), of this sort-where you can't just accept the other realm, you have to make up explanations for why you have characters in it. I'll assume the novella was tighter and more interesting, because how could it not be? ![]() At times there were some decent sentences, but I didn't care about any of the characters, the plot went nowhere (it read like a rather long-winded first 3rd of a book, basically all set-up and meandering), and for the life of me I fail to see how this gained any reputation as a classic at all. ![]()
