Greetings, Vancebro!

I have only read his Henghis Hapthorn trilogy, several years ago. The protagonist, an investigator, is strongly reminiscent of Miro Hetzel or Magnus Ridolph while the setting is civilized magical. I thought it was pleasant but I have no strong opinions on it, possibly because I don't particularly care for the Vance novels that they emulate.
After reading the Songs of the Dying Earth and this trilogy, I have the notion that there is an Uncanny Valley effect that prevents me from forming attachments to authors associating themselves with Vanciana.

If you find this is not true for yourself, there is a Spatterlight Press label called Paladins of Vance that appears to be publishing stories set in his milieu. Tais Teng last year published pic related, for example. I am debating whether to read it myself but I think I won't for the same reason that I have no desire to read Quest for Symbilis.
