Oh hell yeah, my brother! I was lucky enough to find a first edition boxed set of The Immortals quartet for cheap, and recently bought them in german, too, which was a bit tricker, since they're out of print, so I only have the first 3.

I think that's the high every reader is looking for. It's been so long... I actually think it's just something about the child-brain, and not about books themselves, which is tragic.

Eh, I wouldn't say that. He's definitely comfortable writing safe-ish books within a genre, but there there were some good ideas and he managed to make a magic system technical enough to play with the exploits without letting it turn into an autistic cancer which eats the story.

>What was it about those books? Was it their weird proto-litrpg elements? I don't hold them in high regard, even with nostalgia, but they were the best thing in the world to me for a year or so.
I think the structure definitely helped. Each book had one stone, one setting, one heavy. The puzzles were great too. Appealed to the game-like quality. Remember when they printed out the image on the door, and if you held the book at an angle you could read the words "if you want to die"? That was hardcore in elementary school.

Never expected to see the stuff here, grew up with them. Great inner book drawings for each chapter, the picture of the ghosts at the end of that book/the forbidden city is still one of the most frightening pictures I have ever seen.
I never really understood the female (main) characters until I read PUA books, got to learn about female sexuality and perception and got older.
