Book Reviews: Ill Met and Well Met
![Cover, Saber & Shadow, by S.M. Stirling and Shirley Meier](https://i0.wp.com/skiffyandfanty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SabernShadow.jpg?fit=294%2C475&ssl=1)
I have to give Leiber a pass on the fridging in Ill Met in Lankhmar. But I don’t have to enjoy it.
One of the many reasons I still love Saber & Shadow is that its women don’t get fridged, because they are the protagonists. Their lovers don’t get fridged, either, because these women are into each other. It’s a joyful romp, albeit with a lot of tense moments, and a few traumatic memories for one character.
