Myth Adventures Series

Need a break from lengthy, dense and heavy-handed epic fantasy? Pick this series up â€“ it's lighthearted and easy to read. As with most 70s fantasy, don't expect great female characters. This shouldn't be too much of a problem, since the series doesn't expect you to take it seriously.Why it made the listThe misadventures that the main character â€“ Skeeve â€“ gets up to are hilarious and entertaining. The humor isn't satirical or snarky and the creatures encountered are fun to read about. It's perfect for lazy afternoons where â€“ rather than watch another Big Bang Theory rerun â€“ you'd rather choose the literary equivalent.Considering how short the book is, Aspirin has done a great job building this world. This is because the main idea is that there are multiple dimensions for these characters to visit. It sets the action up for many surprises and allows Aspirin the chance to throw ideas together without focusing too much on the minutiae of a single world.
