Book Review!
N21: Changeling Earth by Fred Saberhagen
In “Appendix N” Gary Gygax recommended Changeling Earth by Fred Saberhagen, an exciting novel of post apocalyptic science-fiction fantasy. At 176 pages, my paperback version of this 1973 book made for an easy weekend read.
The Good
*Part of the story centers on the mystery of the entity known as Ardneh.
*In a sense, this story establishes a short version of epic fantasy.
*Rolf is an interesting character, as are the enemies.
The Bad
*Saberhagen sometimes spends a long explaining something.
*As per the “epic fantasy feel,” the author introduces lots of minor characters along the way.
D&D Connections & Inspirations
*From the very beginning, this book discusses elementals, djinn, demons, wizards, and mysterious powers.
Overall
For my tastes, I give the work a 6/10 rating.
