First of all, i just want to say i'm a huge fan of Hero Wars and have been travelling through the joy that is Glorantha. However saying that, 'The Complete Griselda' doesn't maintain the standard.
The quality at best is fanzine material. I wouldn't mind reading the material if i found it within the pages of fan funded magazine, but resent having to pay for it as a 'Novel'.

If, like me, you've followed the adventures of Griselda through White Dwarf, Different Worlds, Tales of the Reaching Moon and all the other places, then you'll probably have despaired of ever getting a complete set of her adventures. But now here she is, everything she's ever done from beginning to end and some new stuff also.
If you've got gaps in your collection, (I do) you can now fill them. If you have everything already (very impressive) there's some new stuff and you get to keep it all in one place. Either way, it's worth buying.
For those who've never heard of Griselda, she's a denizen of Pavis, a frontier town of the Lunar Empire, simmering with conspiracies and undercurrents. Griselda makes her way through all this in her own inimitiable style and her adventures are told by one of her hangers on, Olaf the Storyteller, in a 1930s style which, I'm told, resembles Damon Runyon (I've never read Damon Runyon so I couldn't say.) I couldn't really say what makes the stories so enthralling but they are...

Gloranthan fiction
9 Nov 2001
For years, fans have enjoyed Oliver Dickinson's stories about the adventurer Griselda, an adventurer in the city of Pavis whose exploits are the subject of wonder, admiration, and fear. Now, all of his published stories, plus several new ones, are collected into a single book. These twenty-eight short stories about life in the Big Rubble are written in a Damon Runyon style with humor, irony, and an intimate knowledge of life in the ancient ruins. Witness the loyalty of Wolfhead the bandit and the cleverness of Hurbie the con man. See Griselda's decisive action when confronting swords, and her more clumsy ripostes at love. Above all, marvel at her apparent invincibility as she defies death and all challengers in Pavis, deadliest city in the Praxian wastes.
