In Legend Born

Outstanding characterization. Resnick really knows how to write realistic characters. Most of the characters are painted in shades of grey. Her plot is enticing, and after the first few chapters, moves along with the speed and intensity of a freight train. I would hesitate to call this romance fantasy, although it does contain trace elements of the epic clich. This series is unique enough to stand apart from the epic fantasy clone crowd and the characterization is some of the best you will find in fantasy literature. If you are in the mood for an action-packed thrill ride, full of deep characterization, you can't go wrong with this trilogy.
