A Very Long, but Lost Legacy,
By
This review is from: The Legacy of Gird (Paperback)
Here we have a package containing the prequels to the very well done Deed of Paksenarrion. Unfortunately, neither approach the heights of that trilogy. The first, Surrender None is slow going but is worth the effort. Barely! The second, Liar's Oath, is a book that had no reason to be written. There is very little story, a confusion of who the main point of view characters are on the authors part with none getting much on page time yet not working as an ensemble piece either. In the end very little happens, and what does happen is so buried under the mundanity of most of the work that it seems trivial.Moon is a good author. She stumbled badly here though. Unless you have the disease of being a completionist, give these a pass.

Struggling,
By Angela Hart (Saint Joseph, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Legacy of Gird (Paperback)
Reading this book, you get to experience of what it really is like in Real Life, just by the way that Elizabeth Moon writes. From her own experience, it seems to help with the story about Gird to be so real. Back then, that is probably what they really did, if you think about it. To me, I am living in another person's world for the every day life that he had being a Marshal-General. It is also a comfort that even in the book itself, there are struggles that have to be made, just like the real world of today.

An excellent book - A worthy prequel to The Deed of Paksenar,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Legacy of Gird (Paperback)
This book certainly lived up to the standard Moon achieved in her previous book. I thouroughly enjoyed it for it's action and the obvious research done into historical fact. The feudal farming system was well researched and well described. While Gird as a hero was believable and able to be sympathized with, Luap was very difficult to identify with. I suspect that this was Ms Moon's intent. The problem was that I was left not caring what happened to him. Nevertheless I read the book in one trans-atlantic flight and one extra day, unable to put it down. I am not sure I agree that The Deed must be read first, although I did read the books in that order. Both books are excellent and anyone who enjoys good writing and an exciting fantasy should give them a try.
