Book Reviews: Ill Met and Well Met

Cover, Saber & Shadow, by S.M. Stirling and Shirley Meier

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.
