They were not that bad random thoughts Send a noteboard - 26/10/2010 10:29:17 PM
For light epic fantasy at least they were not that bad. Kind of like the Xanth novels, not great literature but not enough there to really hate. Some of his other books are better. I remember liking the Parafaith Wars.
