Premium Review Legend - David Gemmell: A Legend Is Born! (1215 words)

My good friend and fellow-writer Gildor_Inglorion knows a thing or two about books – and more specifically, about the fantasy genre from which seemingly no major work has escaped him. A little while ago, he gave me a copy of 'Legend' to borrow. Before I had the chance to read it though, it emerged that author David Gemmell had died. His death was ...

I've never been much of a fan of Fantasy fiction. I've tried to get into it a few times but with the exception of Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit, it's just never seemed like my kind of read. That was until recently while browsing my local bookshop I decided to pick a book at random by an author I'd never read before. So without any knowledge for ...

This is the first book written by David Gemmell, the first Drenai novel, and also the first of his books I’ve read. I can’t, therefore, compare this to his other work as yet. However, it also means I’m not going to be overwhelmed with his popularity and reputation as “the finest living writer of heroic fantasy” (as ...

Premium Review The Axeman Cometh (277 words)
by cjkace - written on 04.05.01 (Useful, 43 readings)
Rating:

The first novel by David Gemmell, and it is a classic piece of heroic fantasy fiction. The story revolves around a warrior, called Druss, who has achieved such status amongst his people, the Drenai, that he is simply known as The Legend. When the Nadir horde invade his homeland, he journeys to fight against them at the fabled fortress of ...

Premium Review Legend - David Gemmell: A MUST READ.... (240 words)

Rating:

Legend - David Gemmell David Gemmell has written well over 20 Fantasy books now. He is a master story teller. Legend was his first published novel. It is a fantastic read, un-put-downable. I am proud to be able to recommend this book to any reader. The book is based in a mystical world. The Drenai race are held ...

Parmenion
Premium Review Very good, but not the master at his best (259 words)
by Parmenion - written on 18.09.00 (Useful, 23 readings)
Rating:

Legend, as David Gemmell's debut fantasy novel, is an admirable work, but not the first book I'd reccommend to those new to the author. That honour would have to go to The Lion of Macedon, which is a better-constructed, more mature work than Legend. But this is not to say Legend is a bad work by any means. The jump-off work into ...

Premium Review Legend - David Gemmell: The title says it all  (205 words)

Rating:

I have read every David Gemmell book that has come out. This was his first outing as an author of heroic fantasy but from the begining he writes like a pro. This is the book of the defence of Dros Delnoch a mighty fortress many walls blocking the main entrance to Drenai terretory. This story is so full of heroism and wonder that it ...

Premium Review Legend (198 words)

Rating:

Legend is one of Gemmell's earlier books. Yes, it uses the good old retired hero idea that he so loves, and sees Druss (the Legend, to give him his full title) journey from his mountain home to help a castle under seige. Of course the presence of such an inspirational figure lifts the morale of the troops, and Druss beats up some bad ...
