With the *last* "Thieves World" anthology just published (it must be the
conclusion, it says so on the cover), I thought I'ld do Robert Asprin &
Lynn Abbey. Personally I found the first few Thieves World books
interesting, but I lost interest after #4. Now individually, both authors
have written good stuff.
I like the Myth Adventure series. Be warned that you must enjoy puns of
the lowest order to really appreciate these books. A quick reading of the
titles would convince you of that. In the first book, I also like the
quotes at the beginning of each chapter (e.g., [approxiamtely] "Travel is a
great way of seeing new places and meeting interesting people" - A. the
Hun). Like most series, the best are the first books, but I still like the
later ones. And I rather enjoyed Lynn Abbey's "Daughter of the Bright
Moon" novel.
Interested people should also check out various related comic books. Ones
I know are a Thieves World, a Myth Adventures series, and two Duncan &
Mallory books.
[A] == Anthology. (A bunch of stories written by other people)
[O] == Omnibus. Includes other books
aka == Also known by this other title
