| I didn't gel with this novel in the same way that I do with most of Gemmell's work. It would be easy to say the post-apocalyptic and western gunslinger elements, compared to the more traditional fantasy content of Gemmell's work, are the reasons for ...more | |

This book was a big step up from its predecessor. It has many of the same elements that make it (and almost all of Gemmell's books) great, but it has a much more unique premise. A common criticism of Gemmell's work is that it has a tendency to be rep ...more |

| Skilgannon is far from my favourite of Gemmell's heroes, but he is more than enough to add the much-needed central character to focus the story around. I have found that while I enjoy the vast majority of David Gemmell's stories, he is always at his ...more | |

| I've been reading and re-reading David Gemmell novels for over 25 years now, and it's fair to say that he is right up there as one of my all-time favourite authors. I have revisited all his books multiple times, which makes it amazing that every time ...more | |

I hate to do it, but I think I am going to have to give this one a 3-star rating. Gemmell has long been one of my favourite writers, and I named my dog after Druss the Legend, so it hurts to drop so many stars from this review. However, I can't ignor ...more |

| This is one of those very rare David Gemmell books that didn't quite sit right with me. That's not to say it isn't good, far from it. Even on his worst day, Gemmell could write the hell out of a story. As with all his works, this is fast-paced, actio ...more | |

| Of all the Drenai books, this one is the least memorable (save for Winter Warriors). That isn't a comment on the quality of this novel, because as you can see from the star rating of this review, it is excellent. It just means that because of this fa ...more | |

Waylander is probably my favourite of all of Gemmell's heroes, and this book is my favouite of the Waylander books. This novel picks up with a much older Waylander who is a long way from the Drenai and is now known only as the mysterious Grey Man. Th ...more |

| The Waylander trilogy is one of those rarest of trilogies, as, in this reader's opinion, each book is better than the last. Part of that opinion might be because Waylander is my favourite of David Gemmell's heroes, but no matter how many times I read ...more | |
