That said, I was really enjoying it by the end and I grew to care about what happened in the siege. I also really liked that the ruler of the Nadir hoard wasn't quite as terrible as he was made out to be. He besieged Dros Delnoch for the good of his empire, not because he was a horrible man. A nice touch to wrap up an overall good, but not great, book.
Thank you to the publisher for sending a copy to The Bookbag! We also have a review of [[Rhyming Rings by David Gemmell]].
For another, more extended Tolkienesque work, try [[The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams]].
