Peter Jackson (director/writer of Lord of the Rings/Hobbit fame) needs to get his hands on this series. It would make a kick-ass movie! I'm just saying...

Re-reading this trilogy on a whim and loving it just as much.

Still good after all these years

I first read this series when I was on middle school. It is fun to read the series again 30 years later and still enjoy the story.

I should have read this when I was 12. It was richly imagined but very predictable.

I read this book (and the rest of the trilogy) as a child and its mood and world-building was immersive. I never forgot, and spent years trying to find copies for my library. Still love it, though it was not deep on re-reading as I remembered.

I had almost forgotten I'd ever read these books, but I ran across a really old platformer game co-written by the author that apparently continues the story... it's existence and association with such an obscure childhood memory boggles my mind.
