Two barbarians fight it out in the Sword and Sorcery match in the Fantasy division.
Had to write this quick, as I'm already beginning to confuse the two barbarians who both get magic swords from sorcerers and go on quests. Fox's prose was better and his stories had a bit more of an edge to them, but (odd coming from me) the pieces were under written. While epic fantasy takes too long to get from point A to point B, here I had some problems following what little story there was.
Carter's prose was a titch immature, though not always a bad thing for this kind of story. His action scenes were more blow for blow than Fox's and the novel format benefited the series of scenes which could have been disjointed short stories.
I would say Kothar was better written, but Thongor was more fun to read. Thongor moves up in the Fantasy division!
