Deathgate Series

This is a series of seven books that I started reading sort of by accident. It is by no means high literature.

Based in a fantasy world, each book covers one step of the journey of the protagonist. While each book is not really stand alone, (you really should read them in order,) each one manages to have an introduction, separate story, and satisfactory conclusion.

Unfortunately, the first book is probably the worst of the series. Because the reader is starting with no knowledge of the world the author intends to develop, the author is very limited in terms of what can be done with the plot. Once past the first book, the author can use a lot more freedom and the books become that much more fun and interesting to read.

But don't go looking to these for anything meaningful. They are fun and interesting, I in particular became attached to the characters, but the setting and the plot are just as fun for whatever type of reader you are.
