Review of 'The Mormon colonies in Mexico' on 'Goodreads'

Love the storytelling, but often feels like a first act. Would the entire colony series have worked as one single-volume novel? - Don't know yet, but I'll be quite frustrated if the sequel doesn't push the envelope a bit.

Still so, haven't had that much fun with "this kind of horror" in a long while. Great time with this book. :)

Terry Brooks: Magic Kingdom for Sale/Sold (Magic Kingdom of Landover) (1992, Orbit)

Review of 'Magic Kingdom for Sale/Sold (Magic Kingdom of Landover)' on 'Goodreads'

Big fan of Mr Brooks' "Shannara" novels here, but had evaded his attempt at "non-serious" fantasy for many years. Went into this one expecting that it would be sort of a Pratchett- or an Asprin-pastiche, and was pleasantly surprised that it really wasn't:

An easy read, and easy to like. A well-executed, wonderfully charming story.

...Now, is this necessarily a series that I'm going to follow for five or six more novels? - Don't know.

...Can I see what people liked about it? - Definitely yes.
