Some time ago I posted about being unable to find more books in the vein of Jack Vance's Cugel. I ended up coming across Matthew Hughes' Fools Errant which finally scratched that itch. I finished it earlier today with great satisfaction and promptly began the pic related sequel, but I am sad to report my now-renewed disappointment. This feels like a fanfiction and lacks the energy and fantastic believability of the first book. I am fifty pages in and probably not going to bother reading any more. I will keep Fools Errant as a favorite but am now back to searching for a new cugelian adventure author.
