Sequel to The Reaver Road, but in a completely different setting - a snowbound inn in what seems to be the medieval Alps. Omar is in a storytelling contest with his life as the main stake. Other motives emerge as the stories are told. Great stories, great read. ( ) An interesting series of stories told by a variety of apparently disconnected people, 10 of them to be exact, echoing such classics as the Decameron and the Cantebury Tales. Omar or Homer is literally trying to save his life by telling tales of the past. The others with him want his blood for various reasons, the trick is that he tells a story for every story told by one of the other people there, these stories are all interwoven and there's an implication that Omar is very long-lived and has seen many of these situations. Enjoyable but not spectacular. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)The Omar Books (book 2)
First seen in The Reaver Road--"a fun, very readable fantasy with agreeable, intelligent characters"--Omar the Storyteller returns (Metaphorosis Reviews). Omar often gets into trouble as a result of his role as the world's greatest storyteller. The wrong tale told at the wrong time to the wrong audience could prove fatal. When a slighted innkeeper threatens to kill Omar by tossing him out into the vicious storm that rages just outside the door, Omar has the chance to redeem himself by using his gift. If he can top the most outrageous tales invents by the inn's guests, he may get away with his neck intact. Soon, Omar not only tells a series of stories that would astonish the most gifted bard, but also corrects the errors of the others and weaves everything together into one absolutely compelling tale of adventure.
