This collection of stories are incredibly atmospheric and instantly take you back to the world of Majipoor. The characters are rich and the world interesting. I often found myself unhappy to move onto the next story because I was invested in finding out more about what happened to the characters I had settled into. While I’m not sure each story was successful the book was enjoyable. The pace of these books creates a laid back, hypnotic dream like atmosphere that is unique, original and very alien in some places.
