I just finished reading the first three books of this swords & magic series, Percevan. It’s sort of like ‘the Smurfs meet Thorgal,’ with the style and pacing reminding me of the Dutch series Douwe Dabbert. The characters are almost completely ‘stock,’ but that’s normal for this kind of work.
I’d say this series is best for young adults and casual readers. It’s generally light, comical reading, but there are enough moments of implied sex and mortal violence that it’s maybe not quite ideal for kids. In terms of quality, I found it surprisingly absorbing, altho it also has plot weaknesses and some pretty dopey moments.
