Honestly, the antics of Jorian and Karadur wore out their welcome early in The Unbeheaded King. While all three were meandering picaresque adventures, the last seemed composed entirely of digressions around a slender core: retrieving Jorian's wife from the city-state of Xylar. Karadur, instead of being a hapless instigator of trouble on account of his unbounded gullibility (as in the first two), here is an unwelcome source of discouragement and negativity. This forms a drag on the story.

Interesting premise, funny scenes, but kind of boring over execution.
