5.0 out of 5 stars
More than just sword and sorcery,
By myrddin215 (Baton Rouge, LA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Child of Thunder (Renshai Trilogy) (Paperback)
I read this book about a month ago, and thought it was excellent. Although a little lengthy, it summed up the trilogy seemlessly, in a way that left me satisfied that the world wasn't going to be destroyed. Wizards and gods and the best swordsman in the world, what more could I ask for?I found out today. More than just a story device, the law vs. chaos battle is Ancient Greek philosophy worked right into the seams of a sword and sorcery novel. The need for balance, because both are nessecary for creation, all is evident in the Greek creation myth. Descartes also talked about it in his meditations, God, the Supreme Being, and his opposite, which he called "nought", the completely abscence of being. This novel shows that law and chaos are supreme, not good and evil which are mere constructs of law. Although Norse Gods are used, this is a mere detail, as the gods are all carry-overs from Greece, with different names. This is a wonderful story if you're just looking for a fun fantasy novel. But if you're interested, look a little deeper.

Truly a great book based around a intreaging character. Who can belive that his greatest fear isnt death but something else.

You mean it's over?!?,
By
This review is from: Child of Thunder (Renshai Trilogy) (Paperback)
This was my favorite book in the trilogy right up to the last chapter. The entire series is preparing for Ragnarok, and this book details the protagonist as he comes into his birthright. The only problem is, it ends before Ragnarok starts! The sequel trilogy begins 300 years after Ragnarok, so the greatest event in the history of the world, the climax of the entire series, is never shown! I was very, very bitter, and I doubt I'll reread the series.
