That was a fun book. I've been meaning to get my own copy and the rest in the series.

Rias, I have to recommend "The Last Unicorn" by Peter Beagle. I've read it a couple of times and listened to the audiobook more. It's just... It's deeper than I expected it to be while still being a lot of fun. I said more about it here.

And I'm assuming you've read "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman. It is interesting comparing it to the movie and seeing what was changed to make it work for the different formats.
You overhear the following rumor:
"I saw one of those Shadgard folk come barging into Grif's and shoot one of the patrons on the spot. Shadgard must be a pretty rough place with such outlaws running rampant."

I will second this recommendation. I was lucky that a good friend of mine sent me a signed copy when she met the author and it quickly became one of my favourite books and movies.
