Snark can exist, in abundance, in high fantasy and blend in seamlessly. This makes me happy. There's far too much naval-gazing going on in fantasy land. It's nice to know the continuity of fuzz can be broken.
I don't give books star ratings; I give them bite ratings. This is a bite. A book can get up to five of these evil-looking chompers, including half bites.
You can attribute your own wording to the ratings. Five's the best, three's decent, one and under isn't worth the gas to go to the library. I'll leave it to you to fill in the blanks.
