Chronicle As Books M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link (Myth Adventures #7)

Now that M.Y.T.H. Inc. became a reality it is time for the company to take on some assignments. The said company took quite a diverse range of them - as diverse as the members of Skeeve's outfit. Let me count them: finding a thief who steals from a factory wholesale, collecting a debt, decorating a hotel, helping an old friend to get out of a really bad contract, and protecting shipping goods. Each assignment is a self-contained story and is told from a different POV of a person/being performing it.

I feel my review of this installment would come out harsher than it needs to be so let me say from the beginning that regardless of what I am about to say it is still good enough for 3 (weak) stars. It has a couple of amusing moments as well as one laugh-out-loud (Tananda's visit to a bar frequented by hardened criminals). It is also short so it is over before the reader gives up on it.

This book is noticeably weaker than the previous one and I already proclaimed that the previous one does not quite reach the level of the first five novels. Skeeve grew up. His growing up signifies his development which is nice and dandy, but he grew up to be a boring person and an asshole to boot. He became a president of a company and being an asshole comes with the job, but this does not make it any more entertaining to read.


I did not like multiple POVs. Skeeve (the teen) was the sole narrator before and his outlook on life really shined. Here some of the POVs are quite boring. Speaking about boring, so are some of the stories. The ones that were not boring were predictable and cliché. Even the only funny moment I mentioned above was cliché, but its execution was top-notch reminding us that Robert Asprin knew how to write genuinely funny stuff.

This is my second time I read this book and it did not become better on the reread. It is time for me to take a hiatus from the series.

I finally recalled why I did not finish it on my first attempt.

Notice Appertaining To Books M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link (Myth Adventures #7)

SeviceableReads as a transition book. Not as much free ranging fun as earlier in the series, and occasionally at little on the almost sad side

Gleep actually had a "speaking" part!!! I was excited!

The format is different, which is explained in the informative author's prologue. Having the story told by different characters is a good change of pace. Spoiler: It doesn't take 200 years for Gleep to learn to speak.

Whereas I appreciate the direction telling stories from different characters' eyes (especially Guido and Gleep) I didn't find this one as engaging as some of Asprin's other stories.Also, I'm not completely sure that if I started this one back in the day that I finished it, which does mean all future books are going to be new experiences for yours truly.Fun fact, I picked the moniker "Guido" back when I was a librarian at South Quad Library, and that stuck before I later became known as "Mule"

It was a little disappointing. I liked the stories from everyone else's point-of-view, but the characters weren't that good on their own.That said, Gleep, was the one very interesting character.

This is the first of the new type of Myth books. It takes a little while to adjust to the new point of view of this story. After I got used to it, I found that I did like this point of view, but not as much as when the story is told by Skeeve. The hardest time adjusting to this new point of view was when I was reading Aahz's Tale. Since it was Aahz and Skeeve, I kept forgetting that Aahz was telling the story and thinking it was Skeeve. The most surprising story is Gleep's Tale. Gleep is an

I'm lukewarm on the book. The focus was on Guido, one of the gangster heavies that is part of Skeeve's entourage, but there seemed to be several plots going on that became really confusing. Still, it was enjoyable.
