You mean the Saxon chronicles. They're good, and certainly better than his Sharpe's Rifles series, but I do find they get a little formulaic. His Warlord series is the Arthurian trilogy (The Winter King, Enemy of God, and Excalibur), which is his finest work, IMO.I’ll nominate Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord book series (the Uhtred of Bebbanburg series), which is the basis for The Last Kingdom TV show.
There are a ton of books and they are uniformly great to excellent. Some are more exciting and plot-forward-ing than others, but even the ‘others’ are excellently written historical fiction.
Anything starring Rincewind is pretty weak, honestly.What's the worst grade you would give a Discworld novel?
I think that's probably right, although his international travel stories can be pretty fun, despite being the lightest weight Discworld books. They're definitely the most purely satirical, even later on.Anything starring Rincewind is pretty weak, honestly.
Ph, fun, sure. But C or C+ fun. If the series stopped with The Light Fantastic, it would not be notable. Many of his books are S+ tier,particularly with Vines and the Witches.I think that's probably right, although his international travel stories can be pretty fun, despite being the lightest weight Discworld books.

It's not an in-joke, that's the actual Japanese school grading system, S down to F. It became popular because it is commonly used in video games, but that's not a joke, that's cultural diffusion.Unpopular opinion on the wrong thread: The whole tier hierarchy that includes "S" at the top is stupid. It's an in-joke that should have never slopped out into wider geek culture.
Everyone should just do an A through F system.
