Love is in the air ... and it might just turn deadly for our hero! Skeeve is a powerful magician, and he always means well ... but he is more than a bit naive when it comes to romance. And suddenly, he’s drowning in a sea of romance! There’s Bunny, the brilliant mob moll, Cassandra the friendly neighborhood vampire night club queen ... and of course, there’s the sexy but dangerously twisted Queen Hemlock. Only one of his nubile suitors can assure his future—and maybe even keep him alive ! DEAR DRAGON, I have a problem ... “And so, to recap, the situation is this ...” I ticked the points off on my fingers, giving my audience a visual image to reinforce my words. “First, Queen Hemlock wants me to be her consort. Second, she's given me a month to think it over before I reach my decision. Third ...” I tapped the appropriate finger for emphasis. “If I decide not to marry her, she says she'll abdicate, naming me her successor and sticking me with the whole mess. Got that?” I was proud of my ability to address the problem head on, summarizing and analyzing it as I sought a solution. There was a time in the not too distant past when I simply would have lapsed into blind panic. If nothing else, my adventures over the years had done wonders for my confidence in my abilities to handle nearly any crisis. “Gleep!” my audience responded. Okay ... so I wasn't all that confident. Review Quotes: “Give yourself the pleasure of working through the series. But not all at once; you’ll wear out your funny bone.” –The Washington Times “Asprin’s major achievement as a writer—brisk pacing, wit, and a keen satirical eye.” –Booklist “All the MYTH books are hysterically funny.” –Analog “Breezy, pun-filled fantasy in the vein of Piers Anthony’s Xanth series … A hilarious bit of froth and frolic.” “Tension getting to you? Take an Asprin! … His humor is broad and grows out of thefantasy world or dimensions in which his characters operate.” –Fantasy Review “One of the finest blends of fantasy and humor ever written.” –Baryon Online

9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. A rather remarkable accomplishment By Charles (whit0435@tc.umn.edu) Readers of the Myth books will no doubt notice that most recent few have a tendency to stop the narrative at a moment's notice and enter into drawn out, irritating tangential asides. This book, in light of that trend, is something of a remarkable achievement: it is the first book in the series composed entirely of such tangential asides.The plot has been well documented through the other reviews on this board, so I won't rehash it here. One thing worth noting, however, is that despite the fact that the plot concerns Skeeve's decision whether to marry Queen Hemlock, the book concerns itself little with that particular line. Queen Hemlock does not play a significant role in this book, appearing in no more than two scenes.Instead, Robert Asprin has saw it fit to fill his latest Myth book with his thoughts on why relationships break down or become abusive, how salary structures in a corporation are created, and most ridiculously, that a fashion model's life is not all glamorous, among others. Somewhere along the line, Robert Asprin completely lost the notion of a coherent narrative. I feel comfortable in identifying the thought's as Asprin's, because none of the characters have been defined enough for me to recognize the sentiments expressed as their own rather than Asprin's.And perhaps what's worse, is that Asprin continues to suggest storylines within the book that interest me, but he quickly ignores them in favor of another tangential aside. The book is a remarkable disappointment.As such, I cannot recommend it. It heartily deserves its one star rating.

The last few books in the series, starting with Number 7 (M.Y.T.H Inc. Link) have taken a real down turn in quality. They haven't been very funny, or very exciting, or very anything. Just 200 pages or so Skeeve learning life lessons. And they've finally hit absolute rock bottom with this stinker. What happens here? Well, Skeeve starts dating and realizes he has a drinking problem. There. I've saved you $5. No magical adventures, no outrageously bad puns, even the fake quotes at the start of each chapter are laboured. What is also upsetting is Asprin's entire attitude. When the last one came out (M.Y.T.H. Inc. In Action) there was a forward from Asprin apologizing for how late this was, cursing his writer's block, promising a new episode in a year, etc. etc. That was 1990. Four years later, during which time Asprin wrote many Phule's novels, this half-hearted effort came out. Bleah. It reeks of afterthough and contractual obligations. And there's not even an apologetic forward from the author. Did anyone read Sharon McCrumb's very funny book "Bimbos of the Death Sun?" It's a murder mystery set at a SF convention. The murder victim is an unpleasant character who has been made famous by a serious of Conan style adventures. However the author hates his creation with a passion, feeling resentful that such a vulgar, base, piece of hackwork is why he is a success. I sense the same attitude from Robert Asprin toward his Mythic creations. He just doesn't seem to care. It's interesting to note that the only time this dreary book comes to life is in the last couple of pages, where the peasants of Klah start to rise up against the perceived tyrannies of the Great Skeeve. Personal allegory, anyone? Asprin should spare us all from any further nonsense like this if he can't be bothered to write a decent book. You won't miss it when it's gone, which may be his master plan. Alienate his fans so they stop bugging him to write more stories
10 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Jumping the shark By T. Shane Clark Robert Asprin had a great thing going with the Myth series -- it was funny and inspired for a long time. But, I guess all good things must come to an end.Pretty much everything after the very good 'Little Myth Marker' has been a disappointment to me. That seems to be the point when the books became less about the story and more about the author seemingly using his characters to pontificate about the stock market, relationships, celebrity, and the meaning of friendship. I really got the feeling sometimes that he was using Skeeve and the other characters to work out his own personal issues -- the problem was that it was pretty transparent that this is what he was doing.The earlier books were more about "adventures" -- what Skeeve, Aahz, Tanda, and company were doing. When this series started to be about "feelings," I just found it harder to keep my interest up. A comic/farcical series like this is just not the forum for rambling on about life, the universe, and everything. Also, when other characters started to serve as the narrator, it just became very annoying and silly for me. The longer the books went on, the more glaring the inconsistencies became.My investment in the series kept me reading and will likely sustain me if Asprin ever decides to actually release the next book and resolve the cliffhanger that he so rudely left his readers with (if the guy wasn't ready to write the next book in some reasonable time period, then why the heck do the suspense ending with your audience).This series is wonderful and entertaining -- to a point. The cautionary tale is, I suppose, that authors should not sign deals to write a big handful of other books unless they are sure they can maintain interest, focus, and quality.
