M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link / Myth-Nomers and Impervections

Myth Adventures #7-8

by Robert Lynn Asprin

Two classic Myth books are together in one volume. In M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link, former magician's apprentice Skeeve tumbles up the corporate ladder, but that doesn't keep him from sleuthing around some dangerous dimensions. And in Myth-Nomers and Im-Pervections, Skeeve's demon cohort, Ahaz, leaves in a huff, and Skeeve finds him in the worst neighborhood in the galaxy.

M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link: 5

I loved this one. At first it was weird with all the other p.o.v.s but I ended up super into it. Skeeve's extra terrible in this one but it's definitely part of the story. I loved the Gleep aspect to it.

Myth-Nomers and Impervections: 5

I thought I'd hate this one because Skeeve is essentially the only character but it grounded him and made him tolerable again. I love these books to no end.

Up to this point, the MYTH books have been first person from Skeeve's POV. The first short book in this volume changes that, with first person accounts from various characters. It marks a transition in the series. The second book is back to Skeeve as the narrator as he goes to Perve in search of a disgruntled Aahz. This remains an enjoyable series, so on the next one. :-)

This book was pretty typical of the books in the series, but a bad introduction for new readers. I get what he was trying to do, but it just didn't work. The second book did a better job introducing the series, while the first gave short stories to the secondary characters.

A series built off of the Hope-Crosby Road movies and every groaner of a pun imaginable. What's not to love?
