![]() ![]() It is also interesting to note the amount of change that happened to both Arlen Bales and Leesha Paper. But Jardir himself, being brilliantly written, is a true man of honor and is a great leader (except for his betrayal of Arlen which leaves an even bigger foul taste in my mouth knowing more about it). ![]() At times their religious fanaticism mixed with the egocentric ideals made it hard to back Jardir and his claim because they came off so haughty and prideful. ![]() Brett's description of the Jardir's people and how their culture functions is phenomenal from the readers standpoint. After the second book and finding out more of Jardir's rise to power he becomes less an enemy and more of some one a reader can get behind and root for. In the first book we watch Arlen grow up so when we are enticed to side with him and see Jardir as a threat to Arlen's claim as the Deliver. Reading Jardir's back story was a real treat and really gave the reader a different perspective. Out of all the fantasy series I have read, none have come close to capturing the cultural intricacies and nuances the way that Brett has managed. ![]()
