Having read Winter's Fury a couple of years ago and given it a five-star rating, I was looking forward to seeing how it stood up in a reread as part of this three-book box set.
I was still blown away by the story, the characters, the world-building, the action and the suspense, which had me devouring this book, and the following two in this set at a phenomenal rate (for me).
There is a lot of action and suspense in these books and it unwinds at a fast pace, but for me, it is the characters and their personalities that are the highlights together with their interactions, which can be quite blunt and colourful, is such a delight to read.
My favourite author is David Gemmell, and these books remind me so much of his writing style with the action and characterisation, that I would enthusiastically recommend them to my fellow Gemmellites.
