After finishing Another Fine Myth (my review), I raced through second book in the Myth Adventures series. Myth Conceptions seems more like a complete story from beginning to end. This may be because there is no longer a need to set everything up. The main characters are already set and Asprin brings back some familiar characters and introduces some new characters. The overall effect is to make the Myth Adventures universe bigger, more varied and a lot more fun. So let’s see what happened.

Another Fine Myth by Robert Asprin
First thing I want to mention is how bad a title Another Fine Myth is for the first book in a series. Having read the Myth-adventures series when I was younger, I decided that it was time to revisit it. I had to sit in the library on my phone looking up the series online to verify that this was indeed the first book, since the title almost implies that there was a book before (at least the work another does). Having determined that I did indeed have the first book in the series, I was glad to find out that the book was just as funny and entertaining as I remembered. I lost track of the series in the 90s (when Asprin took a writing hiatus to deal with IRS issues), but am looking forward to checking it out again (even with the absurd mis/myth puns in all the titles). So, let’s check out the fine myth..er..mess.
