Freisner, Esther

• Split Heirs (with Lawrence Watt-Evans) (2 r)

  • Light and funny fantasy along the lines of Terry Pratchett's Discworld, though not quite as out of the mainstream of fantasy fiction. I like Watt-Evans' other stuff, but his style just didn't suit me here. He tried to both slapstick and fantasy adventure at the same time, and neither worked well...it's tough to enter a genre to be compared to Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett, though. I hope Watt-Evans goes back to the more subtle/ironic/situational humor with Ethshar soon.
