Helpful Score: 1

These are the first two books in Asprin's Myth series, a favorite of my husband. Since I finagle him into reading quite a few recommendations from me I decided to give this a try.

Both stories were very enjoyable, I love the satirical/punny take on the fantasy genre as a whole. Some of their device's are repeated from one book to the next, but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary for series writing.

These were fun, quick reads with an entertaining take on the fantasy world, wizards, demons, dragons and the like.

I recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy and humor together. These definitely are not for someone who looks to dark fantasy/horror/romance as their favorite genres though :) but it makes for a humorous read and a way to almost cleanse the palate if you move between many genres like I tend to do.
