Another entertaining planetary science fantasy series. Vance had a fantastic ability to describe scenes. Making sure to include most, if not all the senses when doing so. His character development was average, but true to the spirit of the Barsoom and other planetary science fantasy novels. The dialog is not his best. The stand out character for me was Ankhe at afram Anacho, a dirdirman and native of Tschai.
