4.0 out of 5 stars You have to know what it is to appreciate it., 30 Jan 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Liar's Oath (Mass Market Paperback)
I'll agree that Liar's Oath is not the pinnacle of Elizabeth Moon's fantasy novels, but it tells a very important story, and a lot of people don't like it because they don't realize until the end that this story is a TRAGEDY.

Yes, Luap is a flawed, unworthy character who leads his followers to disaster. His story is a warning, and Moon tells it with all the style and bitter realism her fans expect from her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too much realism for some?, 1 Sep 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Liar's Oath (Mass Market Paperback)
Nitty Gritty Realism.... This seems to be the area that Ms. Moon gets complemented on the most for her other novels. Perhaps that is why readers seem to have such a love-hate relationship with this novel. Here we are confronted with a protagonist that is not larger than life, as are Gird and Paksenarrion, but rather is all too human. Very Real. You've heard the expression, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions"? Well, Luap has the right to wear the "Been there, done that!" T-shirt. Paks's decisions may not have always been easy, but she had the light of Gird within her to guide her along her path, thus making those decisions seem easy and foregone. This is the story of one man who tries to fake that inner light and all of the chaos that comes about from his continual striving to do what is right without having a clue. I think that this story is a good balance to the Deed, as well as filling in past history that I was curious about.

4.0 out of 5 stars Belieavable followup of what might happen after a war, 7 Feb 2001
By A Customer
I hope this was not the last book of Girds Legacy, because it ended with a lot of loose ends which I would like to follow. The good thing about Legacy of Gird is that Elizabeth doesn't end the story where most other writers end theirs: When the war is over. She follows the characters even after. Luap is also a believable character with loads of flaws and an oath he wants to hold, but cannot. I found myself very often feeling sorry for him.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting and distinctive novel
I loved The Deed of Paksenarrion. I thoroughly enjoyed Liar's Oath. There's a definite difference. I found Luap to be an insightful main character. Read more
