Wheeee! I get a theme song! How come I get a theme song and why "Bad to the Bone"?
Oh, and you'd have to add that the books are three inches thick. With two sequels, or maybe three.
Or ten which continue on endlessly and never wrap up their threads and have the same kind of title which are vaguely heroic sounding. Usually the words "wolf" and "king" and "dark"/"light" come into play. Sword is also popular, as is the word "gods" and any permutation thereof.
I hope nobody gets offended at this though.
I kid because I love. Really, though. If I have to read fiction that has a formula? I'd rather my formula include dragons and mages.
Although maybe we could put a moriatorium on the use of "mages" for a while, because that word is quickly getting on my nerves. Apparently there's ALWAYS A POWERFUL MAGE as well as a kingdom.
