Having adored Gemmell's Troy series last year, I was delighted to see him return to the Ancient World with his Greek series. I enjoyed this just as much.

I was sort of missold this one as the first book in a series. It is, but it's also part of the larger world of the Drenai series, begun with Legend. I suspect I should have read that first to ground myself. But that lack of knowledge didn't stymie me too much and I really loved this one. Full of excellent characters. I look forward to seeing more of them when I start Legend and read the second book in this series, which I've already ordered.
Book 4 of the Rigante series hit my doormat this morning, so off to immerse myself in that world again. Fun!
