I didn't read the first two volumes in the Ebenezum trilogy, but that doesn't impair the joy of reading this book in my opinion. It is actually the first fantasy book that I've read and I picked it up solely for the reason it mocks the genre. It is an enjoyable enough read and it made me chuckle a few times, but...

Alan Dean Foster has written, according to Wikipedia, over 100 novels, and as I was (re)reading The Hour Of The Gate I was trying to work out in my head if, based on sheer volume alone, Foster would rank as my favorite author.

I counted up the books I've read by him, and it's 18. The only other authors...

An ancient and very powerful dragon made a proposition to Wiz which cannot be refused: save people who live close to dragon lands from dragons, or face a destruction of the capital of northern wizards. What is more, Wiz cannot use any outside help. It also seems people he is supposed to help do not care about...

I liked this one quite a bit more than the two previous Warlock books. I think it benefited from having actual chapters as it made it tighter. (As opposed to sprawling, undefined parts. Pratchett doesn't need chapters; I think Stasheff does.) Half of it was from a different perspective than Rod's so that...
