I almost gave up on Death Gate after the first book, because I hated Haplo (unlike some people around here *looks around for xparrot* I don't go for bad guys unless they're a whole lot more reformed than he was in Book 1)
Hee! Same here! And I didn't like Hugh either, at first...! Which is why I got turned off by the first book. But then, having glimpsed what lay ahead, I decided to give it another go. Yay! ♥ Because I do adore the [spoiler spoiler character stuff spoiler] - and the Dog, of course.
By the way, have you ever seen Book-A-Minute? Their capsule summary of Death Gate is hysterical. (Haplo: "I'm Haplo the Patryn. I'm angry because all the other Patryn are in a Sartan prison. But I have a cool dog." :D )
I hadn't, but it made me laugh out loud! Perfect!
But, alas, a fantastic way to sell it to me! *adds to Amazon wish list*
*beams* I hope you'll like it. ♥ (The caveat is - there is angst, and if you don't like Arithon, you won't like the series. Except, apparently there are some people who don't like him and love the series, but I really don't know how that works...!)
