Though Winnowill is a bit too evil a villain for my taste, the more of this series gets better as it moves along.

This has become a serious guilty pleasure for me. It started out as just something to pass the time, and because they happen to have the whole series available in my library. The story line is hoaky, but not nearly as hoaky as the some of the dialogue they put in. Yet despite all that, I am hooked, I absolutely have to go out to the library to check out the next volume to find out what happens. I am a little disappointed to find out that these were originally put out in color, because these volumes are only in black and white. I think that the colors would add a lot more to these stories.
