Very good series.
Was the first "Fantasy" novel I read, way back in 4th grade, got it a school book fair right ater I started playing D&D.
As mentioned above a must read.
ALSO for anyone that interested their is another book out in paperback that appears to be continuing with Jason C. and the three characters introduced in Not quite the 3 muskteers.
"Not Quite Scaramuche" ISBN 0812574702
Haven't read it yet, just picked it up on Friday night. Was looking at books and checking on known authers, and their it was.
I'll post a review, if this thread is still around when I finish it, have one or two books ahead of it on my list to read.
