You know, I keep expecting to not like these books. In point of fact, I generally hit points that put me on the edge of setting aside the series entirely. Sometimes that's long winded passages about how Goreans measure time, sometimes that's the pretty objectionable endorsement of extreme misogyny and slavery. But then you hit parts like 'We are of one chain', and I can't help but love what John Norman is writing. Its like the old saying goes, people are more than one thing, and contain multitudes. In the case of creatives, sometimes that's reflected in the work they generate. I would say, so far at least, this series is worth sticking with and sticking through the parts that you may find more objectionable parts for some of the brilliant gems you're going to come across.
