Have read the first 6 books at least a half dozen times since my local librarian suggested Lord Foul's Bane to 12 year old me in the early 80s. Little heavy for a pre teen, so I'm pretty sure she hadn't read it herself...But those books ignited a lifelong passion for fantasy adventure stories. Saltheart Foamfollower is one of my absolute favorite characters of all time. Sooo many wild parts in those books. Good call!

Indeed. When saltheart foamfollower undergoes the lava caamora? Like I don't cry but that brought a tear to my eye.

There is a final four books out which are of a different caliber than the first six but not a terrible read.

Yeah...I read the last 4, too. Not all that long ago. I appreciated the nostalgia returning to The Land engendered....but..."a different caliber", is a very diplomatic way to refer to them. Lol
