They are excellent! I really love everything he's written about the world of

Elan. The Rise & Fall series, Legends of the First Empire series, and the Riyria Chronicles books. I especially love that he rough draft writes an entire series before publishing. His style basically guarantees the books in a series will come out once a year.

That quote is so old, it's also like the chloroform of anti LDS quotes.

VenomFarmer

Obviously. Mark Twain has been dead for over a century. Just because it’s old
