This includes the friend who handed me my first Brust novel[1]. I'm of the opinion that the series is great for audiences of all ages, and with the exception of the second book[2], only gets better as they go along. Yeah, the books aren't to terribly deep, but you don't always need that to be entertained. If you did, we wouldn't have any action movies out there :) [1] Actually, she handed me a bookbag full off all the Vlad/Khaavren novels published at the time.
