I've read all three. I find his writing a bit stiff and clumsy but readable.
There were also some loose ends that never were tied up. I'd put them in
the class of books that I enjoyed reading once but probably wouldn't reread.
On a scale of 1-10 (Gor series to Book of the New Sun) I'd give them a six
or seven.
