Finished Jirel meets magic and loved it! It has a bit of Vancian magicians and a bit of elfland. But kept all of the gendered criticism that I loved in the first two books. I love that the wizard didn’t say a word until the finale of the book. And I loved the duel between Jirel and Jarisme. The call back to guillaume was subtle and empowering. I want to make a DCC one shot of this story badly.

Finished the book. Golly. This is my favorite book so far in this adventure. The dark land was my least favorite, but the white witch of death in it was still so haunting. And, the ghost story of Alaric and Hellsguard was so creepy and entertaining. Jirel is such a BA and I love how she always finds some sort of evil/magic means of vengeance upon the men who wrong her.

Finished book two. This stuff is super trippy and I love it. The black god of despair! And the journey to free Guillaum from its grasp was a little hard to follow but had a whole vibe of terror to it that really captures the unearthly feel of a strange and foreign world. It makes me think of both Hodgson and Cabbel in its surreal wandering. Really fun.

Finished the first story and love the inversions here. Moores description of the demonic world are awesome and haunting. And I love the means of Guillaume’s destruction. Excited to keep reading.
