They are long, involved and sometimes horribly turgid, but the plots are usually pretty well thought out. I have read several of them over a couple of years but I need time in-between reads.....the characters are a little much sometimes but that's just my opinion.....no offense to those who love the series!!!!<br/><br/>]]></body>
