Another Fine Myth by Robert Lynn Asprin
2.0
Glib, quick, facile, and plays upon all the cliches of High Fantasy. Skeeve and the Demon are pale descendants of T. H. White's Arthur and Merlin -- the young innocent bumpkin ready for great adventure and his anachronistic mentor from a more advanced universe in medieval setting that renders him instantly into something wise and powerful.
Decently written, snappy dialogue, but 2D characters and ludicrous situations characterize the entire series. No real plot or character development, no growth or expansion into philosophy (i.e. Discworld), just more of the same, ad infinitum. Worth a quick read when there's nothing else to do, I guess...
