While Waiting on Lion of War
As the series stalls, I thought it would worth my time to read these companion pieces. Gareb arrived in my Kindle library by way of BookBub for free, so I decided to start there before purchasing the others. The story itself was enjoyable, and basically what I expected: dramatic, well-paced, gritty in its application of faith, exciting storytelling through the main battle, etc. My complaint is that it adds very little to the Lion of War narrative. As something of a place holder and origin story, I had hoped the tale would be more...consequential, I suppose. I love the Lion of War books, including all of the characters and plots therein; unfortunately, this particular story offered neither deeper exploration nor further development. I'll purchase the other novellas of which The Hall of Mighty Men is comprised, in order to buy time - hoping that those stories contribute more to Graham's literary universe.

Very short ebook but very good. Bad things about the short books is I'm always left wanting more. :(
