Okay, that does it. I'm looking for this series IN ORDER. This is the second Myth book I've read, both of them from somewhere in the middle of the series, and they're hilarious, and well-written enough that I wasn't lost at all, but I really want to see how it all started and read them in order now. In this one, Skeeve's caught between a rock and a hard place: either marry Queen Hemlock, or she'll abdicate, leaving him her throne. In the meantime, he's been hired to balance the kingdom's budget. The puns are relentless, and yet there's a bunch of serious stuff in there about love, marriage, and accounting. ( )

It's over. This is the last "Myth" book that I own and I've decided not to buy anymore. So you could say it took me something like 22 years to read this series. I'm just guessing that I read the first one when I was around 15. These last couple haven't been that great so it's time to move on to the Discworld books (I read the first 2 many years ago).

This one was interesting, all about Skeeve's hunt for the perfect woman. So it was a bit more heavy on the sex jokes. Then he got all deep in the end about relationships and marriage. I still never really laughed out loud. So for anyone interested in this series I would suggest you stop somewhere around the 5th book. ( )

Awful. Well, I suppose it is good if you want to learn basic accounting. Or if you need marriage counseling. Or any of the other random subjects that Asprin spends time babbling about to try to keep anyone from noticing there's no actual plot. I sympathize with him and his writer's block, but this was a disaster. ( )
