I agree, this is a fine read.

(On a slightly weird note: I spent awhile tracking down the entire series, which was out of print at the time, and put off reading it until I had all 4 volumes... and lost them all before I could read it. I had to track them all down again. Same thing has happened with one of the Elric books and one of the Deryni books.)

Always choose the option that'll most likely blow up in your own face. You never know when a tribe of werebears is going to want to skin you alive, for instance. Those are the Munchausenesque moments you can brag about over beer for years.

Of course, sometimes you get bitten by vampires infected with bubonic plague, but on the whole, you have a great time.
