You can also read the beginings of the LOTR sequel ("The New...

Is reading The Legacy of Gird a requisite for the trilogy starting with Oath of Fealty?

(I guess I just like a romantic read from time to time, even if it's not all that good of a book) The Relcutant Swordsman was a quite enjoyable book, but it was also one of those that wasn't very easy just to pick up...
