Here is what people are saying about the The Demon Princes, Vol. 2 : The Face * The Book of Dreams
5 Star Rating  "Haunting novel by the master"2009-09-09
- Reviewed By Patrice Deware from New Orleans
For me this is one of the most haunting books by Jack Vance. Great reading, a masterpiece of science fiction. The enemies of the main character are tremendously treathening, almost eiry, and the suffering of the key character seems to be painted in brown, red and purple colors. The story is as sticky as molasses (you can't put it down) and like the mud in a swamp that keeps sucking you back: tremendous writing.
 
5 Star Rating  "Very imaginative novels"2009-04-15
- Reviewed By An Amazon User
Included in this book are the two last of the Demon Princes books.
Jack Vance is at his best. His worlds are wonderfully convincing. Why does he have to put some scholarly notes about the characters or the environment at the beginning of each chapter escapes me. Best jump over them.
 
3 Star Rating  "No frills sci-fi adventure, continued"2008-12-27
- Reviewed By Ritesh Laud from Houston, TX USA
Jack Vance's five separately published Demon Princes novellas were considered to be excellent science fiction adventure stories in the 1960s. However, they suffer in comparison to sci-fi from the recent couple decades, which has become more sophisticated with much better character development and deeper plotting. In fact, even compared with Isaac Asimov's older Robot, Empire, and Foundation novels, The Demon Princes books come up considerably short. Now I'm in the midst of Stephen Donaldson's Gap series, which makes the Demon Princes look positively amateurish.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed Vance's stories. They are well written, simple, fast-paced adventures with clearly defined character roles and motives. Surprising plot twists abound. The characters themselves are only sketched out in the barest fashion, but that's part of what keeps the focus on the action.

This second volume compiles the final two novellas in the series: The Face, The Book of Dreams. Kirth Gersen, the protagonist throughout the entire series, is on a protracted quest of vengeance to assassinate the five Demon Princes who committed great atrocities on the people of his home village. Gersen finishes off the last two princes in this second volume. Of the two I preferred The Face, but The Book of Dreams is certainly a good read as well.

Recommended perhaps as light reading on the airplane and on vacation, while on a beach with drink in hand. I have another Vance series on the shelf (Planet of Adventure) and after a few more other more "sophisticated" novels, I'm sure it will be a relief to interpose a bit of simple innocent science fiction adventure.
 
5 Star Rating  "Some of the best there is by Jack Vance"2008-09-01
- Reviewed By Woofdog from Miami
The Face in particular is one of my single favorite Vance stories. br /br /Rather than regurgitate the many positive and helpful reviews here, I will let my review be a random walk of my thoughts on my 4th rereading of The Face and The Book of Dreams.br /br /1) How can this guy make me wonder what Darsh food smells like? Years after my first reading of the story, I still wonder.br /br /2) The Hadout (bel ruk's) has stayed in my mind every time I think of this story. Vance can create games inside his story and capture the reader in them, this is a prime example. In this case, the already-great dramatic prose was given some extra tension with the addition of the bewilderment of Gersen's Menthel lover being present and, in vancian style, quite bewildered about what the banker Gersen was doing...br /br /3) The Book of Dreams seems slower to me. Some added mystery is brought to the story with H.A. Treesong's apparent ability to vocalize multiple voices at once, which is clearly meant to leave some doubt about whether in fact he DID have his paladins with him, as he believed. This ties into the close as well.br /br /
 
5 Star Rating  "The Demon Princes"2008-07-12
- Reviewed By JIm from Michigan
Like many of Vance's works this is first and foremost a rich and glorious travelogue through an intricately detailed universe that Vance had used before but which he fleshed out more with each successive novel. The way the series ends is awesomely realistic. The young protagonist disposes of the last of his enemies and his life has lost meaning. We'll never hear from him again.

Vance always knew when to end a series. The man was incapable of writing a lame sequel.
 
5 Star Rating  "Clever and Satirical Escapist Adventure"2006-08-14
- Reviewed By Wm. M. Mott from Southeastern USA
I originally read the first three novels in this series in paperback, many years ago. The last two novels really make it all come together nicely.

Following the personal vendettas of Kirth Gerson against his "master criminal" (often space-age, corporate 'captains of industry' of a sort) foes is a highly-amusing, highly satisfying read. This series is almost as good as Vance's Planet of Adventure, and the cynical, lyrical Vance style is wholly in place.

HIGHLY recommended.
