In Swords In The Mist, did you enjoy ...

... stories featuring clever, morally gray protagonists on dangerous capers?

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

If you loved following Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser as they navigate the perilous, often shady streets of Lankhmar, you'll be delighted by The Lies of Locke Lamora. Locke and his band of thieves pull off ambitious heists in the city of Camorr, constantly skirting the line between heroism and outright villainy, much like Leiber's iconic duo.

... adventuring groups made up of distinct, memorable characters?

The Black Company by Glen Cook

If the camaraderie and banter between Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser kept you turning pages, The Black Company offers an entire mercenary unit whose members—like Croaker and One-Eye—each have their own quirks and roles. The group's dynamic is central to the story, providing a gritty but engaging ensemble adventure.

... fast-paced, action-packed fantasy adventures full of danger and wit?

Three Hearts And Three Lions by Poul Anderson

If you found yourself swept up by the rapid-fire escapades of Fafhrd and the Mouser, Three Hearts and Three Lions delivers a similarly brisk pace. Holger Carlsen's journey through a magical world is filled with swordfights, close shaves, and clever solutions to perilous situations.

... fantasy tales filled with clever humor and playful banter?

The Princess Bride by William Goldman

If Leiber's sharp dialogue and sly humor made you smile, you'll adore the wit and comedic timing in The Princess Bride. From Inigo Montoya's memorable lines to Vizzini's exchanges, the book is packed with clever repartee and satirical twists on classic fantasy tropes.

... fantastical worlds with mysterious, undefined magic?

The King Of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany

If the mystical, dreamlike quality of Leiber's magic appealed to you, The King of Elfland's Daughter offers a tale where enchantment is unpredictable and wondrous. Lord Dunsany paints a world where the rules of magic are as elusive and enchanting as the story itself.
