Rating:  Summary: Good for Gird! Review: This is a good prequel to The Deed of Paksenarrion.I enjoyed the first book (Surrender None) more than the second (Liars Oath), Gird's fight to overthrow the wicked lords with only peasants for followers and some half finished military training is a good tale. Well worth a read.
Rating:  Summary: Liar's Oath Review: Well folks to be honest with you I didn't enjoy Surrender None or Liar's Oath as much as the Paksenarrion Series. I found the charcter development took too long. I kept thinking "let's get on with the story" thru out the whole book.The main characters of Gird and Luap were obviously ment to be more real and less like the god-like beings of Paksenarrion's times. But they could be very shallow and it's sad to say, boring. The Paksenarrion series had a steady development of characters and regular adventures throughout the series. Surrender None & Liar's Oath was drawing on and on with the reader making the choice of should I bother finishing the book. It gives any reader the backround info into Paksenarrion, but I could have lived without it. Plus I was very upset with Amazon not advertising that The Legacy of Gird was a trade edition including Surrender None & Liar's Oath in one book, since I ended up purchasing it and Liar's Oath in the same order. So I doubled up when I surely didn't need too. Buyers beware folks.
