– Customer review on 26/02/2008 This is one of the best of Morgan’s series, and that’s saying something. For those who are new to the Paladin series, they are sort-of immortals, in that they can be killed and come back to life, but there are only so many times this can happen without them eventually either not waking up again, or losing so much of their humanity that they have to be put down lik e a rabid animal. The Paladins protect us against the Others, who live on another side of adimensional wall, and who keep trying to invade our world each time the wall collapses. Good guys, bad guys, pretty clear0cut, huh? Nope, and that’s why Morgan is so good, because her characters are not so stereotypically black and white. Already teher is an Other working with the Paladins, although his siter Lusahn is a top warrior for the Others. The first time Paladin Cullen meets her she almost kills him, but still, there was definitely something between them. When Cullen returns to the wall to give Lusahn a message from her brother, he gets trapped on the other side, and finally learns what these people are really like. He really finds out what Lusahn is like. Are the Others the bad guus after all, or is there good and bad on each side? Whatever, on both sides love makes the world go round. While ‘Redeemed’ is not as complex as the first couple of books, the style is clearer, the child characters delightful, and the alternate world very believable.
