The Ancient / R. A. Salvatore

The Ancient

by

R. A. Salvatore

published by Tor / Tom Doherty, New York in 2008
read in May 2009
fantasy
book 2 of Saga of the First King

Sword & sorcery with plenty of detailed, hand to hand fighting. Quite a few separate threads -- but they all came together at the end. It did take a while to feel sympathy for some of the main characters. Several characters were introduced -- just to be killed, presumably to demonstrate the evilness of the villain. But a mostly happy ending for the main characters -- with obvious leads into the next story.

Agamedes' rating: 6 out of 10
