"Finally!"
I've been an Audible listener for years, and I periodically search for certain authors. Finally, some of Jack L. Chalker's work has appeared! Here's hoping to see the rest of the Dancing Gods, all of the Well World, and the Four Lords of the Diamond. Maybe even "And the Devil Will Drag You Under". Please?
This is a fun series, and much lighter than his other work. Great characters and that twist of body changing and self identity discovery. Two people going nowhere end up going somewhere they never imagined, learning about magic and the River of Dreams, and being tasked with an epic quest.
Chalker is classic Sci/Fi Fantasy.
"Good Old Fashioned Fantasy"
I loved Chalkers books when I was a teen. It was good to revisit him. I hope that the Well World series is not far behind. Thanks Audible.
"A great satire."
Weaves a great stort while poking fun at fantasy. I liked it. Reccomend it to anyone with a sense of houmer.
"Finally We Get Jack Chalker!"
If you want a good; fun fantasy novel, it is a great little read. This is not epic fantasy but there are some great elements to the story and a lot of poking fun at fantasy cliches.
Magic Kingdom for Sale by Terry Brooks
He is a good narrator but not my favorite.
There are many funny moments in the book. I love Chalker's writing style.
Audible definitely needs to produce the Well of Souls series by Jack Chalker. It is a better series than this one and would be very popular. This book brings back memories of being a 13 year old kid exploring this world for the first time. I would definitely recommend it.
