Arpikarhu Wrote:the gunslinger books have been good up until wolves of calla. it was a direct rip-off of seven samurai.yeah, that argument was made when it came out and I tended to agree with it - but I kind of took that and put it in the back of my mind to see how it fits the story. A lot of the series was based on The Magnificent Seven, Lord of the Rings, etc. and there are direct rip-offs throughout - that book as a whole seemingly being mostly that. But in the grand scheme of the story, it works.
