Ggbk Ggbk ggb_k — I just reread this for my book club, and came back to check what I had written here after my first read. This was all I had: This book was tremendous, David Gemmell is truly a brilliant fantasy writer. I owe the late David Gemmell an apology for such a half-assed review. While what I said was and still is true, it is a huge understatement considering this is one of my all-time favorite fantasy novels. I will now try to do it better justice this time around. First of all, the entire story, which is fairly grand in scope, takes place in one 400-page book. Think about how impressive that is considering how long-winded some fantasy authors are (Patrick Rothfuss) or how some endlessly serialize their works (Robert Jordan, who didn't even let death get in the way of serializing more of the The Wheel of Time series). The novel takes the trope of the farmboy-turned-chosen-one on its head, by having the titular protagonist, Druss, be an old veteran warrior -- whose back-story is only vaguely hinted at -- knowingly and intentionally marching to his death at the siege on Dros Delnoch. It also has a number of other interesting supporting characters, from Rek the baresark (Gemmell's word for berserker), to a group of mystical warrior monks known as The Thirty, to the lovable rogue Bowman. Equally important, the leader of the invading Nadir army, Ulric, is not a stereotypical, stock villain. More than once it is mentioned that he is only doing what the protagonists' ancestors did hundreds of years before, when they created the Drenai empire. Ulric also has his own sense of honor, and in one scene near the end, he laments how (view spoiler) he has been made into the evil villain, without his knowledge or consent. I could go on, but I'll say this, which is high praise in itself -- I reread the book in two sittings. The fact that I couldn't put it down on a second reading is pretty impressive to me. As a final aside, contemporary British fantasy author Joe Abercrombie, who seems to be a spiritual successor to David Gemmell, seems to channel the character of Druss the Legend in his character Logen "The Bloody Nine" Ninefingers.

Redshadowpt Redshadowpt redshadowpt — I gotta say that this book was kinda disappointing.. I've read about a Succubus as a main character before and the main female in this book was just plain disappointing.. She didn't acted or have the charms that a succubus should of have.
