Book Reviews of the Shardik
Customer Review: The Dour, Older Sibling of a Forgotten Beauty
Summary: 3 Stars
Alas. Richard Adams wrote two books set in his wonderful Beklan Empire, but only one remains in print. "Shardik" is a difficult read. It is worth reading, certainly, but I wish "Maia" would come back into print. Mr. Adams wrote "Shardik" first, but the events of "Maia" predate it by ten years, and show the Empire in a very different and exciting light, through the eyes of much more loveable (and some magnificently detestable) characters. If you like any of Richard Adams' books, do seek "Maia" out from used bookstores, it's a forgotten treasure.
