Substance: Waylander, after another long retirement, is once again forced by events to hate a hand in saving the world, leaving his comfortable and anonymous life as a wealthy land-owner to defend against the forces of evil. His investment counselor, Matze Chai, has a delightful supporting role. Style: Gemmell has an easy-reading style with well-paced bursts of action punctuating the calmer narrative, which itself is never dull. Pre09: Characters: Very believable and memorable. Love the Waylander. Plot: Pretty solid. World is crumbling and they have to save it. Magic is reasonable. Style: Gritty-ish. Classical fantasy. Good pacing. Nov09: Revisited, flesh out my thoughts. Characters: Well of course Waylander is the reason you are here, but this time Gemmell did so much more. The enemies are real people with real conflicts. There are other heroes (The two samurai are a great addition and a great contrast between each other.) The elder merchant is classic. And the young females actually don't make me go 'bimbo!' Plot: Solid. There's not even a siege this time! Sure, he pulls some 'multiverse' stuff out his ass, but it's tastefully done. And at the same time it's all a very logical takeover with a simple Waylander in the way of things. I found it enjoyable. Style: This is just blood-stirring epic action adventure. It's not epic because of the scale of the world, it's epic because of the scale of emotion. These people are real, and yet larger than life at the same time. Gemmell has a gift. It just seems that when he's writing about people other than Waylander he gets a little pompous and predictable. With Waylander, you know it will stay dark with questions of redemption mixed with a touch of badass action. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Winter Warriors felt a bit "meh", but this one was back up with Gemmell's best.
A return to Waylander with a new supporting cast of characters. All interesting and different enough to previous characters ( which does not always occur in Mr Gemmell's stories).
And a fitting closure to the saga of Waylander - although the ending does leave some things to ponder...... ( )
