Yes. Years ago. The puns got to be too much and I stopped reading the series.

Decades passed and I just tried rereading it. A Spell For Chameleon. Don’t think I’ll be re-reading any more.

It has its share of critics and many people don’t care for it…
I understand it’s not for everyone…it’s a bit of an acquired taste…though I don’t rank it in my top 10 series I also think it’s not as bad as most people say it is…my advice is that you give it a try and you will probably find out rather quickly if it’s for you or not… ?

I didn’t get into the fantasy genre until I was a sophomore in high school. Had to read one for English class, and I’ve been hooked ever since lol

@Matthew The book that started it for me was The Luck of Relian Kru by Paula Volsky

The imagination was fantastic and truly Truly defined the word fantasy…
I wish there were more books like that… pushing the bounds of the minds imagination.
Fantastic Book topic, @Jaclyn!!

I’ve read a bunch of them and loved them but the last few I just couldn’t get into them. I love puns but there has to be more to the story then puns and shocking panties.

They’re more YA. I really enjoyed his Incarnations of Immortality. Read those in 7th grade tho…

When I was a teenager, the puns start to get old. I like the Incarnations of Immortality much better by him.
