Interpretation As Books Ghost King (Stones of Power #1)

Chaos and terror stalked the realm. The king had been slain by traitors, and the sword of power had been lost beyond the Circle of Mist. Armies of Saxons, Angles, Jutes, and Brigantes cut a gory swath across the land, led by puppets of the ruthless Witch Queen--whose minions included dark, bloodthirsty creatures and a savage, undead warrior. All hope lay with young Thuro--in whose veins flowed the blood of kings. He would have to defeat the Witch Queen's monsters and travel to the land of the Mist, there to seek a ghostly army. And the only one who could prepare Thuro to achieve his birthright was the mountain warrior Culain, the one man who knew the queen's deadly secret . . . The legend of the mystic Stones of Power begins with a tale of blood and glory, of love and betrayal, as a boy must come of age amidst the seemingly impossible quest to become the High King.

Judgment Appertaining To Books Ghost King (Stones of Power #1)

So I am a diehard Gemmell fan. But there's a problem with these 2 books when I compare it in the light of, say, his 2 Lion of Macedon books. While Gemmell always has a lightning pace, these King Arthur books feel downright rushed. I don't know why. There is so much that he could have unpacked, so many interesting threads that he could have spent time on. Instead it felt like he rushed these books, depriving us of a richer tale. However, they still beat the majority of Fantasy published today,

I'm hooked!The fusion of history and fantasy fiction aided by the art of great story telling, this book was hard to put down.

GHOST KING is the first in a long-running series of Gemmell books, the 'Stones of Power' books as opposed to the 'Drenai' saga. I knew it was a slim book and would be one I read very quickly. I also knew I would enjoy it a lot, superficially at least.The thing about being a Gemmell fan is the joy of knowing what to expect. Most of the author's books are written to a specific formula. There will be rampaging, unstoppable armies ravaging a rural landscape. On their side will be witches and

In fairness, I'd love to give this a 3.5. I grew up on David Gemmell books and this wasn't bad by any stretch, but it just wasn't up to his usual standard. Looking at the dates, this was written a lot earlier than most of my favourites of his and I suspect he was still developing and polishing his style. There was still plenty about this which was good, with some classic adventuring, good research, good world-building and some deep thinking behind it. While, in my humble opinion, it can't

Although a fan of David Gemmell's books, I found Ghost King to be somewhat disappointing. Maybe it's the fact that I've recently finished the Rigante books or that Ghost King is one of the first books by Gemmell but I found it lacking.Gemmell has some recurring aspects in his books, that although they repeat in most books, he manages to make you like them each time. Redemption, sacrifice, war, loss make Gemmell's characters flawed but interesting. Ghost King did not have any such character. The

The myths explored in this book are fantastic. I remember reading this book because it was written by Gemmell and it wasa King Arthur retelling, but I had clearly forgotten how many other myths were being brought up and just how interesting that made this book. I love how Gemmell combined the Arthurian legend with Greek myths, the epic of Gilgamesh, the Legion of the Ninth etc. and then his own fantastical and magical elements.There were a just a couple of reasons I didn't give this five stars.

Reimagining Arthur 4 January 2017 Now that I have finished this book I am wondering whether this is the first book in the Sipstrassi series, or whether it was Wolf in Shadow. I was just about to start reading Wolf in Shadow when I noticed on Goodreads that it was actually book number three. I remember reading it years ago, and I believe I actually read Wolf in Shadow before this one, but I suspect that was because of the order in which it was written. Well, now that decades have passed since
