Where are my mod points when I dagnam need them! Though stand alone books The Chronicles are all interlinked, taking place over the same time period and often involving characters from other books. The world created is a gritty and a nasty place to live - but still with the wonder and arbitrary-ness of the real world. The first one is fairly generic fantasy fare - but each book is significantly different in tone. Book four - the Walrus and the Warwolf is a swashbuckler and book six - Wazir and the Witch - reads like a book written by one of the characters in book four. All in all one of my favourite book series - anytime I see one in a second hand bookshop I will buy it....

We call it 'stuck in sci-fi hell' :)
