Light, humorous,
swash-buckling adventures in a magical realm dominated by power struggles and
intrigue.
It seemed written for a junior high school level, somewhat shallow and unrealistic. For example, how could the princes have lived so long considering how blood-thirsty and incautious they were.
It's hard to like a book very much if you don't like the main characters. It's hard to like the main characters when they're so violent and uncaring, mistaking courage for fool-hardy idealism.
Am I being too harsh? This was the first in a long and very popular series. Was I just in a bad mood? Does it get better? Should I give The Guns of Avalon a chance? Please let me know.
