Yeah, I read those books little while back and loved them. I also thought they were a bit like Harry Potter for adults, but not as lame as that sounds. I'm gonna have to go check to see if the third book is out yet..........nope. ![]()

![]() ![]() Mort by Terry Pratchett I'm on a bit of a fantasy kick right now and when it comes to fantasy, there's very few who are on the same level as Pratchett. He adds a much needed dose of levity and humor to the genre, but not at the expense of proper story structure. He does tend to utilize formula a bit too much, but he makes it up by his imaginative universe and laugh out loud writing style. If you like Douglas Adams then you'll absolutely love this author. |

Yeah. I found that when his characters went out into the world and did things, it was good but it doesn't seem to be the author's strong suit. But when they're someplace where they have a chance to put down roots and engage in some drama, then it gets pretty impossible to put down. Whether they're in the present at the tavern or at the academy, it can be pretty engrossing. Makes sense, since the author is a college professor.
