They were written thirty years ago, when different standards prevailed. Oh, and for younger readers. lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 12/12/2009 07:00:32 PM
Or maybe less sophisticated ones, I suppose (not there that's anything wrong with a less sophisticated read). Either way, most of us are simply not the target audience for them anymore. Time has magnified their flaws, as does our age as readers.

In the right mindset or situation I could see myself enjoying them again, but I generally prefer to read things that don't require syzygy to be enjoyable.

You totally wrote that post just to use the word syzygy. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/12/2009 04:55:20 AM 302 Views
As others have mentioned, they were okay for their time period. Word and Void is a decent series. *NM* Mossman - 12/12/2009 08:26:20 PM 327 Views
