Original as it gets...

Rick Shelly is masterful in this storytelling. I will always keep this trilogy around till they crumble to dust! If you havent read them: your dumb. One of my favorite breaks from reality. will reread over and over, and force everyone I know to subject themselves to a slip into the unexpected. Although written into a corner, I would love it if Mr. Shelly could find a way to bring life back to this idea. We need more in the essence of this first book. Where the other compliment it nicely I feel the first is the best.

Read this trilogy OVER and OVER!

I first stumbled across these books over a decade ago. Since then, I have read the series to myself several times. I have also read them outloud to my wife. (She loves my Uncle Parthet voice, ha!) The author's writing style makes EXTREMELY easy and relaxed reading. A blend of wit, sarcasm, and action make the books FUN FUN FUN! The story is interesting. The characters are loveable! Everything has its place. I whole heartedly recommend this trilogy! My copies have been passed around among my friends - and everyone agrees - these are GREAT! My wife is re-reading The Son of the Hero for the third time now!

Best Book Ever

this series is the best set of books I have ever read. I definatly reomend this to anyone who loves to read fantasy books!

Easily some of the best books I've read in a long time, repeat "Looong time" I loved the characters, but I have got to see more of Gil out there somewhere. I've got all three, but I want more.
