Book review : Waylander




Okay this book has been out longer then i have been alive!
Published back in August 1986

It a typical fantasy book from David Gemmell with in depth characters and complicated histories.
Most fantasy fans with probably have read this as its been out for so long.

Waylander is a man who has done wrong all his life  sword for hire but this is his story for redemption, he saves a priest who has an impact on this life from this day forward. He ets tasked to get some armour to deliver to a general of an army to help raise moral and bring triumph.
On his journey he meets old friends and new friends who all tie in nicely to help him or go separate ways but have impact on the story.

Its a fast read once you get going there is no stopping, with that said just don't rush to end it because i feel that Gemmell rushed the ending and i didnt really feel it. i men we take days to get to the mountains and then he sums up the last few days in one chapter is a little lazy. But still a good read never the less.

Hopefully i will do more book reviews in future.

thanks for reading
Dave
