Alright, where the hell is Reb supposed to be from? The first book says he's from Arkansas, but then in the first chapter of *this* book we get:
But then later in this book we get Arkansas again. Can the author not even keep track of basic stuff like "where the main characters are from"?
Also he... he just called the island "Mordor"? You didn't realize that name has already been used by a pretty famous fantasy series, Gilbert?
But hey, at least Goél got the accent back in his name after he lost it for two books (was there a reprinting that removed it and I somehow got a patchwork set of books or something?).
In fact, [Reb] had been a kind of cowboy, growing up in Texas in his old life.

4 stars for nostalgias sake, and because when I have kids I'll be so happy if they read these. I loved them as a kid, and it's such a great way to introduce them to fantasy while also giving them something clean and full of life lessons. As an adult it's pretty basic, but I'm still having fun reading these again and remembering how great it was to be a kid who loved to read these books.
