ppint. ● 11th Sep 2024		Book George R. R. Martin - Songs Of The Dying Earth	Rated 9/10 not all of the stories manage quite the same combination of fantasy, eccentricity, surrealism, and poetic justice of vance's own dying earth stories; but they all of them evince a blending of at least some of these characteristics: and it's a worthy addition to the dying earth canon - as well as having been a recognition jack vance could and did enjoy in his lifetime. (n.b. merkin editions lose the "u" from the sub-title.) 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
