Gareth is sure he’ll get superpowers one day, but for now, they’re just lost in transit. Until they arrive, he might as well write about the ones he hopes are coming.

He has been reading fantasy stories for nearly twenty years and is always looking for something new. Therefore, his goal is to write books about things he’s never seen before.

So if you fancy something a little different, give this book a try.

If anything I have too many ideas to contend with and have to fight myself for which one to put down.

However, as a golden rule whenever I'm struggling with anything writing related, I find that just writing down anything helps, as the process of writing gets the creative juices flowing and often leads to the answers I'm seeking. (less)

Wolf in Shadow by David Gemmell
Rate this book

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

The Swords of Night and Day by David Gemmell
Rate this book
Clear rating
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

White Wolf by David Gemmell

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

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.

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
