LORD OF THE RINGS MEETS SHOUJO, August 2, 2005
This review is from: Record Of Lodoss War Deedlit's Tale Volume 1: Choices (Paperback)
Okay, it took me a while to get into this volume, mostly because DEEDLIT'S TALE doesn't feature my favorite Lodoss characters, namely Woodchuck and Karla. However, once I got past that, I was actually drawn into the story.
DEEDLIT'S TALE is the classic fantasy archetype, wonderfully melded with the romantic overtones that you'd expect to find in Shoujo-fare. Parn loves Deedlit. She loves Parn. But her old flame from the Elfen World, a troublemaker named Estas, is trying to split up our lovers so he can have Deed all to himself. Of course, we have to have evil villains, and a quest to flesh things out.
The artwork is much different in this Lodoss War series than in other books. DEEDLIT'S TALE is presented in a much softer style than GREY WITCH or LADY OF PHARIS, but considering this one is really aimed at a female audience I didn't have an issue with that.
Ultimately, it was nice to see Deedlit on her own for a while, outside of the gigantic LODOSS mythology. We get to really know how she thinks and why she chose to go outside the Forest of No Return in the first place.
If you haven't read the first Lodoss series (Grey Witch), DEEDLIT'S TALE will still stand on it's own, whether you're a LODOSS expert or a novice.
