The ‘Myth Adventures’ series is fast-moving story full of action, the characters are colourful and vocal. It is a perfect example of light and humorous fantasy, the genre in which ‘Takuan’s Adventures’ also written.

In a small part, Takuan borrows some features from Skeeve, the main character of ‘Myth Adventures’. Though his reason to leave the Mount White monastery is not a tragedy but a simple boredom.
