Rating: Summary: bought by accident Review: I had to go to school to support atheletics, trying to stall as much time to get there i bought the book as something to keep me occupied. I couldn't pay attention to all the teachers and other students the book was great! I'm a big fan of his books and i recommend that you buy the book even without alot of knowledge of David Gemmell the book is great!
Rating: Summary: Musings on Winter Warriors Review: I have read all of the Drenai novels written by David Gemmell and I can assuredly say that this is one of his best books set in this world. While the plot is somewhat similar in style to his QUEST FOR LOST HEROES, the execution shows that he has grown considerably as an author. It is a tightly plotted novel that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster and leave you wanting more. Add to this some of Gemmell's best dialogue in ages and you have a book worthy of space on your bookshelf. You will revel in the exploits of Kebra, Nogusta, Bison, as well as Antikas Karios and Dagorian as they attempt to stop a demon-lord from plunging the world into darkness. I can't recommend this book enough.
Rating: Summary: The Best I've ever read! Review: I have read Druss the Legend and Sword in the Storm. I also have read all of the books by Jordan, Edding, Modesitt, Knaak; This book beats them all hands down. I have erad it seven times in ten days! The characters are more likeable, and more profound by their weaknesses, than their strengths. Each character, no matter how small, adds to the plot. Gemmell did so many things I didn't excpect, it still shocks me. Since reading this book I have set out to buy all his works. If they are half as good as this one, they are all works of art!
Rating: Summary: Awesome!! Review: I love fantasy novels and I am constantly reading them. I bought this book on a whim and since reading it I have read many David Gemmell novels. He is such an amazing writer and Winter Warriors is definetly one of my favorite books of all time. I could not put this book down and I have read it several times..... David Gemmell does in fact deserve the title "Finest living writer of Heroic Fantasy!!!"
Rating: Summary: You won't be able to put this book down! Review: I only "discovered" David Gemmell very recently but he's rapidly moving onto my list of favorite authors. In this book, complex characters are drawn with intricate detail, but they are never boring. Herioc, honourable and yet flawed in some way, the heroes in Winter Warriors are eminently likeable. You can't help but empathise with them, their quest and principles. There are so many shades of gray in the book, it is a breath of fresh air in an overcrowded fanstasy genre. Highly Recommended!
Rating: Summary: Amazing, absolutely amazing Review: I read this book in 4 hours only getting up to use the bathroom. I recommend this book to all high action fantasy lovers who like to be pushed over the edge as subtle as a hammer blow to the cranium. It is amazing is all. The plot is original as well and will keep you turning those pages.
Rating: Summary: 2nd only to lord of the rings Review: If you have read any of my other reviews, you will notice that I'm a big fan of Gemmels. I love all his books, but none (except this one) have I ever rated 5 star. The characters are fantastic and I even became mournful when ever one of them died. In most novel I'm able to pick out a favourite character right from the begining, but in this story I could not decide who I liked the most.The demons are brilliantly contrasted from one another and I love the way all the odds are stacked against the goodies. You really feel that there is no way out for them, and I can promise that you will never predict the ending. This is a Drenai book, yet it is seperate from the Nadir war story line. So you don't have to read it in link with the others. Simply put: this is one of the best stories you'll ever come across.
Rating: Summary: What can I say Review: It's what I've come to expect from him. All hail gemmell
Rating: Summary: Fantastic. Is it ever too late to make a difference? Review: Ive read alot of David Gemmell and he is consistantly good and very often great and occasionally utterly brilliant. This book is the latter of the three. The characters are all memorable and all deliciously imperfect, the story is never as black and white as it may appear. Simply put I can think of no fantasy author ive enjoyed as much as Gemmell, and of his work this stands alongside "Hero in the Shadows" as a truly astounding and well crafted tale.
