I took a break cuz I was going to fast and not enjoying them fully.

It's a romp if you look at the right way, and dire if you look at it the wrong way. There are a few things to remember: 1. Sir Paarfi of Roundwood appears to be an obsequious, toad-eating, conceited little hack who thinks he's smarter than the reader. 2. He's clearly being paid by the word. 3. That's why everyone talks in such an absurd manner. 4. But he doesn't really expect to be taken seriously, and the books are full of sly digs at his own expense. Will Deb,

You’re probably taking it too seriously. It’s a romp if you look at the right way, and dire if you look at it the wrong way. There are a few things to remember:

1. Sir Paarfi of Roundwood appears to be an obsequious, toad-eating, conceited little hack who thinks he’s smarter than the reader.

2. He’s clearly being paid by the word.

3. That’s why everyone talks in such an absurd manner.

4. But he doesn’t really expect to be taken seriously, and the books are full of sly digs at his own expense.

I've tried three times to get into The Phoenix Guards and it's still a no go after page 100 or so. And I loved the other series so...Rats. I’m failing, Will.
