The thing is, I got sick of fantasy because I got sick of Tall Beautiful Elves and Short Grumpy Dwarves and Nasty Old Ogres and Absolute Good and Evil. Get rid of it all, keep the magic, rub the entire story with ashes to get that nice grey look, and add a whole lot of very funny lines, and you get something I can really get into.If it sounds like something you could really get into, too, than definitely pick this book up, and introduce yourself to this series.Oh, one thing? I was lying a bit about the Elves. But only a bit.
