Great Book, Great Series, Sep 30 2002
I really enjoyed The Last of the Renshai, and the books that come after it. Reichart's best strength in the two Renshai series is her clear understanding of her characters - their personalities, their strengths, their weaknesses, their morality. The plot for the first 3 books isn't anything exceptional - the "standard" mixture of heroes, villains, prophecies, and the-world-is-going-to-end treatment - but there are some nice twists, and there is enough depth in the characters and in how they handle their struggles to make even the tired good-vs-evil, law-vs-chaos conflicts remain interesting.However, any comparison to Tolkien is a bit, well, ridiculous. Tolkien, Jordan, Donaldson, and other writers in that vein were/are very much world builders, writing sagas that span millenia and encompass large numbers of characters and vast, complex storylines. At the very simplest level, it's a matter of scale, and while I highly recommend The Last of the Renshai and the related novels, it's a different kind of fantasy than that written by Tolkien and company. The closest "emotional" comparison between Reichart and another author that comes to mind is with R.A. Salvatore. It's just kind of an impression, not anything I can justify logically. I think maybe b/c I enjoyed The Drow Elf trilogy on the same level I enjoyed these books. (As an aside, IMO, Colbey could be naked and unarmed, facing off against an angry Drizz't, and Colbey would TAKE Drizz't's scimitars and whip him like a red-headed stepchild, and THEN he would REALLY educate Drizz't in how to fight with two swords....)
