![]() Still a fun and quick read, but I think the story might have ended better at the false ending, and save the rest for the follow-on Second Chronicles. And then, strangely, it continues for another 40 pages, for no other reason than to show everyone old and dying at a siege 30 years later. ![]() I guess Gemmell thought that was a good work, and wanted to use some of the same elements to provide for Druss's back story.Ī really weird part, though, is that that book appears to finish - it reaches an end point, and is followed by a summary. hero ends up in a land of the dead, where they must fightĪlthough this book was enjoyable, there's a level of detail and realism in Lion of Macedon that still makes it a superior book. someone astral travels using the source blocked by malicious crone who is not entirely evil So I'm not sure whether it was implied that it was a common Drenai expression, or whether Druss picked it up from Shadak - or whether Gemmell was implying that Shadak was like another version of Druss in some way.Īlso, there are a lot of elements in this story that are also used in Lion of Macedon: As usual with Gemmell, there's good pace and good description, and the story flows smoothly.Ĭurious that Shadak calls Druss "Laddie", which is an expression Druss normally - and uniquely - uses. ![]() Anyone who is a fan of the first book in the series, Legend, should check this book out. ![]() Just finished this and generally enjoyed it. Druss the Legend was a great read from start to finish. ![]()
