Anyone who has finished the Viriconium novels, please tell me the last story in the omnibus (Lamia and Lord Cromis) is better than the middle two and it's back to cool adventures like The Pastel City.
Currently reading In Viriconium and it's been a chore. I don't care for any of the characters or their problems. The setting feels like it's not even the same place. The ohh, weird bad trips and plague or some shit has been too much (the second novel was 90% that). Even the register is entirely different. From locations like Minat-Saba and The Circuit Road to shit like "Margarethstrasse" and "Montrouge". Jesus Fucking Christ. A couple of painters, some clowns, artist's circles. What the fuck does this have to do with sword and sorcery. It reads like a poor Gormenghast fanfiction at this point.

The thing is, those covers are only for Spanish translation. English version has several different covers, this being one of them.
