A much more enjoyable and compelling read than the first one, this one I had trouble putting down until I finished it. It's a good thing I read it while on vacation. Now that the world, it's rules and characters have been established, it feels like the author is having a lot more fun with them this time around and it tells. I found the mystery much more compelling this time, and loved all the twists and additional story lines and really enjoyed the way he tied them all together and up in the end. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more from this series. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

It's summer in the magical city of Turai and it's hotter than Orcish hell. All that Thraxas, third-rate sorcerer, second-rate private investigator and world-class drinker, is looking for is his next beer. Until he learns about the murder of Drantaax, the famous sculptor, and the guards arrest his client. It's a simple enough case, except that the massive statue Drantaax was working on has disappeared and rival bands of warrior-monks keep turning up all over town. And then there's the odd dead sorcerer to account for...And what does all this have to do with the dolphins and their lost healing stone? Funny and fast-moving, THRAXAS AND THE WARRIOR MONKS confirms Martin Scott as one of the brightest new voices in fantasy fiction. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This is the 2nd book in this comic fantasy series with plenty of recurring characters and expanded world-building to continue to explore. It's not a laugh out loud type of humour but it will bring out the odd smile now and again. It's a fast paced tale with plenty of twists for the mystery element for the reader to enjoy. It's not up there with the masters of the genre but it does offer up a pleasant enough diversion from the more serious fantasy I've been reading lately and I'm more than happy to continue on with the series at some point.
