Particularly the first trilogy -- it's very rough, obviously an early and unpolished set of books. But then, I am a bit of an occultist myself, so I speak Kurtz's language regarding the endless use of ritual magic by the Deryni. That's such a large component of the later books that anyone not on her wavelength would find it rough going. -- Matthew Hunter (matthew at infodancer.org) Homepage: http://matthew.infodancer.org/index.jsp Public Key: http://matthew.infodancer.org/public_key.txt
