Product Description
Product Description
Moon's The Deed of Paksennarion has been a blockbuster success in Baen's one-volume trade paper edition--and now the trilogy has a companion. The Legacy of Gird tells of Gird, the liberator, who teaches his people that they can fight--and win--against their Mage-born rulers, and Luap, Gird's sworn follower, who dares not lie and cannot tell the truth--nor face the future.

I loved the book because it gave more information on Gird and how he became the legendary hero that Paksannerion followed. I am looking for the second of The Legacy of Gird books so that I can find out more about Luap. My only disappointment was that it wasn't written quite as well as Deed of Paksennarion but I was still unable to put it down very often and read it in just a day or two.

As a massive fan of 'The Deed of Paks...' I was very excited to find this book, unfortunately I was sorely disappointed. I wish that someone had told me not to bother with this book, hence this review. The book basically fills in how 'Gird' rose up to become such an influencial figure in his time. I found the book mechanical, unwieldy and cumbersome, and actually really boring. I had to force myself to read it and if it hadn't been written by this author I would have given up long before the end. When I finally finished it all I could think was what a waste of both mine and the author's time. If you have read 'The deed of Paks...' then DO NOT bother reading this book, and if you haven't read 'the deed' then get out there and buy it and DEFINATELY don't read this book!

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.
