Summary: Another great trilogy on the Renshai!
Review: This trilogy holds itself against the original. The author builds on the characters she created in the first trilogy and takes them to levels of conflict that she could not have set up otherwise.Good and evil? Let's try shades of both...her characters this time are young...full of life and of themselves. They learn about violence, love, and the true evil that normal men of power can accomplish...on top of that, they are forced to deal with a supernatural evil of unprecedented levels. The badguy in this book will have you wanting to jump into the story, grab a sword, and take his head (sorry, reference to another good fantasy tale ;-) ). Don't start with this book and its trilogy...start with "Last of the Renshai."

Summary: A fantastic example of what a fantasy epic should be.
Review: We all know how hard it is for contemporary authors to create epic tales that are not copies of the classic greats, ie. Tolkien. Mickey Zucker Reichert has done this and done it in fine style. Based on the greatest of Norse legends, this tale of politics, religious loyalties, and the never-ending cycles of life will suck you in, fill you up, and spit you out with a renewed appreciation for fine authors like Mr. Reichert. Definitely a weekend read of non-stop entertainment every inch the equal of the first series--with a twist. Enjoy!
