A friend recommended this book to me, and I read it while I had nothing else to do whilst on a vacation. Had I any other activities to engage in, I would have. This book is boring, cliched and predictable, and entirely nonsensical. I did not enjoy this book in the slightest and would not recommend it.

It took me a while to get into this one and it probably also didn't help
that I started it straight after finishing the Troy series which was
fantastic.

I have yet to find another author that immerses me so deeply into a book. Since reading pretty much all of gemmell books it's hard to find a author that matches hi caliber. If your unsure about fantasy then pick up a book by this guy and you will want time read more. True legend in heroic fantasy
