Delusion's Master
Delusion's Master | Tanith Lee
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A recognized master fantasist, Tanith Lee has won numerous awards for her craft, including the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement and the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement in Horror. Delusion’s Master is the third book of the stunning arabesque high fantasy series Tales from the Flat Earth, which, in the manner of The One Thousand and One Nights, portrays an ancient world in mythic grandeur via connected tales. A long time ago when the Earth was Flat, beautiful indifferent Gods lived in the airy Upperearth realm above, curious passionate demons lived in the Underearth realm below, and mortals were relegated to exist in the middle. Chuz, Prince of Madness, third of the Lords of Darkness—beauty on one side, foul corruption on the other—“takes pity” on the world. In his gentle, soft embrace, mortal minds repose in a tide of illusion and twisted desire. Yet no one is immune from the sweetest madness of all, and even immortals fall at the cast of the bone dice…. Come within this ancient world of brilliant darkness and beauty, of glittering palaces and wondrous elegant beings, of cruel passions and undying love. Discover the wonder that is the Flat Earth.

One of the best dark fantasy series to come back in print in digital form. Lee's Flat Earth series holds up even 40 years after it was first published. It reads like a cruel fairytale and this book is no exception. Chuz takes offense at Azhrarn usurping his roll as Lord of Madness and goes out of his way to bring down the Lord of Darkness's world around him all the while providing succor to the lost in the form of delusion.

3rd book in the Tales of Flat Earth series and my first finished book for the #readathon!
This is mostly about Azhrarn, Prince of Darkness, and his relationship with humankind. And Chuz, Prince of Madness, runs around making mischief. A beautiful, dark fantasy.
