Knights Of Dark Renown

so often, reading heroic fantasy, good and evil are described in black and white terms... Good and evil men are born that way, and their deeds are purely good, or purely evil. a clear and unambiguous distinction. it was fascinating to read between the lines in this tale, almost being able to feel the author's own doubts and uncertainty as he explores what the concepts of good and evil truly mean. the ending was a satisfying redemption arc and closed out what felt like an important step in gemmells journey toward inspiring relatability in his characters.

It was a good read that held me tight for the whole run. Something felt missing though. The characters were interesting but maybe slightly half full. This missing ingredient I cant really put my finger on, is the reason I reduced the one star and only gave it 4. So a thoroughly good book but not Dostoyevskys Crime and punishment.

I don't have the skills of a wordsmith to describe this story adequately. suffice to say that if I had the resources, t would happily turn this into a movie...word for word and pray I did it the justice it deserves.
