- Latest Review: Can I Be Frank? by Rob Wyatt
Hardison knows his stuff. He understands the genres of Sword and Sorcery, High Fantasy, and Epic Fantasy very precisely, and he wields words like throwing stars. Even his name on the cover is a poke at a major figure in the Fantasy field. The result is a blend of farce, satire, and cheese, with some slapstick for spice. Much of the humor is broad, some is low, and some is pointed enough that it pinks its target. That said, his humor appears mostly good-natured in intent and execution, full of in-jokes and weird juxtapositions (a hero who can't remember the word 'heavy' but can remember the word 'astronomical'?)
In a word, fun. Or maybe three words: lots of fun.
