TowerOfTheArchmage reviewed The eyes of the overworld by Jack Vance
Review of 'The eyes of the overworld' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The second book in Jack Vance’s Dying Earth series focuses entirely upon a single character: Cugel. This change does not prevent a grand exploration of the Dying Earth with its dim red sun. It is a truly fantastic world, more so than most fantasy authors even come close to creating. Cugel makes for an interesting tour guide, as he is much more of an anti-hero than you generally get in such a book. But then there are few that would qualify as having high moral standards on the Dying Earth. Yet Cugel is both a product of the Dying Earth and a fairly enjoyable scoundrel, in spite of, or because of his many flaws.
