Tananda, the Trollip, appears out of the blue and whisks Skeeve away to go dimension hopping on a mysterious shopping trip. Skeeve's ecstatic, not only does he get to spend time with the luscious Tananda, he also gets to see new dimensions. Things go a bit awry, though, since Tananda's idea of shopping doesn't necessarily include paying for things. Eventually, Aahz gets involved and that's when the really fun starts.
Myth Directions sees a real smoothing of Asprin's style. I think it is interesting how well he manages to juggle so many characters and still round them out. While the style improves, the plot line itself is weaker than the previous two. It's both disjointed and a little slow. The omnibus edition is so typographically flawed that it aggravates the problem.
Recommended to Myth fans but get a stand alone edition of the book.
