I'm a huge fan of Willow, and I generally enjoy Claremont, so I thought I'd give this series a try a few years ago. I found the first book unbearable and barely finished it. Really, it has very little in common with the Willow movie beyond a few characters, and Claremont's writing is verbose. However, I'm willing to admit this may just be personal preference, so don't think I'm saying not to read it, just take caution.As far as the original DL series, I haven't read them at least 15 years. I remember them as being one of my favourite D&D series (the other being the Icewind Dale trilogy), but I think nostalgia may be colouring my memories. I'd kind of like to go back and re-read them to see if they hold up as badly as some say.Still, as far as D&D fiction goes, I'd say they are probably still right up there.</blockquote>
