Thieves’ World<\/a>, Book 8: Soul of the City<\/a><\/em> (1986) edited by Robert Asprin<\/a> and Lynn Abbey<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is, hands down, my least favorite Thieves’ Word book.<\/p>\n

Dramatis Personae<\/em> by Lynn Abbey<\/a>

\nDagger in the Mind<\/em> by C.J. Cherryh<\/a>
\nChildren of All Ages<\/em> by Lynn Abbey<\/a>
\nDeath in the Meadow<\/em> by C.J. Cherryh<\/a>
\nThe Small Powers that Endure<\/em> by Lynn Abbey<\/a>
\nPillar of Fire<\/em> by Janet Morris<\/a><\/p>\n

It takes an entire book to do it, but they finally resolve the problem of Roxane, my (hands down) least favorite characters. That’s pretty much my only positive for this book.<\/p>\n

The city has fallen to pieces, and before anything else can be done, they have to deal with the Nisibisi witch and her globe of power.<\/p>\n

And they do, but at a cost to some of my more beloved characters, including Ilyra, who appears only to have terrible things happen to her.<\/p>\n

But, as I said, it resolves this major problem, so you have to slog through it to move on.
\nRating: 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
