I felt the same way about The Phoenix Guards the first time I read it - in fact, I was slavishly devoted to the Vlad books and dismissive of The Phoenix Guards. Now, about 10 years later (oh brother, time does fly) I'm still a Vlad slave but am just cackling my way through The Phoenix Guards. Maybe it's just my state of mind now, I don't know. I'm just glad my husband is (hopefully) getting me POTD so I can do a "full Paarfi" over the next week or so. Um, "full Paarfi" might spark some interest. Alternate definitions, anyone?
