Troy: Fall of Kings review
| Reading time: ~1 minute
Another Gemmell book, another awesome siege. David Gemmell is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors - his writing is descriptive without being dense, fast-paced, and easy to read. Gemmell might do the best fantasy battle scenes and sieges of any fantasy author I've read. Fall of Kings is a...
