Once again a mixed bag: River of Chaos is convuluted, naive and even awkard in its plot, the short stories are sometimes ok, sometimes great, the main subplot about Sunber dominates most of the main series, as well as the presence of Deena, whom knows some growth during the different parts. The adaptation of Splinter of the Mind’s Eye is kinda stupid, but the original novel isn’t that great to begin with.
It's such a shame that when Disney bought Marvel, they made the "legends" line non-canon, because this book SLAPPED. It took my butt cheeks, puckered up those bad boys and just spanked me silly. I mean it really tickled my pickle. This book really buttered my biscuit
