I got into this series back in the 80’s, but it started devolving into “my character is cooler than your character” wars between the authors, and they’d have one character kill another’s god to one-up each other. Towards the end they seemed to settle their egos and concentrate on the stories more, but then Robin W. Bailey arrived on the scene and introduced a prissy character so beloved by her gods she never lost a contest. This of course started the ego wars again, and I vowed never again to contribute one cent worth of income towards anything having to do with that talentless hack Robin W. Bailey.
Now I see that Lynn Abbey has brought the series back. She wrote her own novel to jump start it, then the next book is an anthology like the old series. I looked through the list of authors, and Robin W. Bailey’s name stood there like a running pus anal sore. I dropped the book like a hot potato.
But I’m willing to give it a chance if RWB’s writing ability has improved any, because I miss the old books. Has anybody read the new series, and do you recommend it?
