This is part two in the Myth-series. Skeeve gets hired as a court magician, and his first task is to protect the kingdom against a HUGE army coming from the north. With Aahz help and Gleep's company he hires some of the, well perhaps not best, but peculiar characters to help them out.
This novel isn't at all that good that the first novel in the series was. The plot seems somewhat obvious. A fun thing is the pet-brazier walking around, some three years before Terry Pratchett wrote about his luggage. Conincidence?
It's a ok novel to kill some time, but I wouldn't get it unless you is a fan of the series. However, it is included in the omnibus and since I know for a fact that the later novels in the myth-series is really amusing I would recommend getting that one.
