reviewed Study Guide by SuperSummary

SuperSummary: Study Guide (2018, Independently Published, Independently published) 5 stars

nice

Review of 'Study Guide' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I think I read this book before I had read Lord of the Rings or seen any of the films. I've always been enthusiastic about encyclopedias and this one beautifully lays out the worldbuilding elements like events, beasts, people and plants of Tolkien's world, accompanied with extraordinary illustrations by Ian Miller.

reviewed Tales of the Dying Earth by Jack Vance

Jack Vance: Tales of the Dying Earth (Paperback, Orb Books) 5 stars

Review of 'Tales of the Dying Earth' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A genre-defining classic and also probably the best scifi/fantasy I've ever read. Everything about this book is vivid, almost psychedelic in its colours. This collection includes all four of Jack Vance's Dying Earth books, of which I found Eyes of the Overworld and Rhialto the Marvellous the most remarkable.
