I didn't like the Chronos and Fate ones much, but I absolutely LOVE Fr Love of Evil. The first hundred pages or so left me somewhat cold (it seemed to follow pretty much the same formula as the older books, which I had read years before For Love of Evil), but as soon as Parry became Satan, it turned just awesome! I didn't like some of the explanations which weren't quite consistent with Satan's behavior of the older books, but overall, For Love of Evil is easily one of my favorite fantasy books.stefan.urlus wrote:wow, i like all of them too, and they are an eclectic group .... the one about Chronos was a challenge to read though! For Love of Evil was my favourite, you should read that DL, it's all about you and your beginnings
I tried four times already and never managed to get past page 40, it is just too borin for me.stefan.urlus wrote:as for fairy tales, anyone read Fairy Tale?
What next... no ballistas or trebuchets?!Mytical wrote:(A gnome creating a mechanical dragon would not be fantasy at least not in my book, but golems are within the fantasy realm).
Martin Longbow the Ranger. Macros the Black. Jimmie the Hand. Give me a break. All the characters seem like they came out of someone's D&D campaign ... because they did! Every one of them is a walking stereotype. And things get worse on the other side of the Rift.stefan.urlus wrote:That's new ....

I guess I'm all over the place. I don't care for Harry Potter, Forgotten Realms, or the Feist Riftworld books -- they seem trite to me. It's not so much the genre as the quality of the writing and the depth of characterization.
I didn't realise that names required originality .... it's the characterisation that makes it work .... what about Pug .... Tomas? and i never heard Martin Longbow the Ranger used as a title for him .... but as I said, each to his ownCaradoc wrote:Martin Longbow the Ranger. Macros the Black. Jimmie the Hand.
