A review by dmcke013
White Wolf by David Gemmell

5.0


In short: this is the book that if I didn't already know (and like) Gemmell's work, would have been the one to convince me to read more by him. Ranks up with [b:Legend|618177|Legend (The Drenai Saga, #1)|David Gemmell|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388201276s/618177.jpg|1805413]as one of Gemmells best works.


A bit more: While the cover of the version I read has the words 'A Novel of Druss the Legend' along the top, just above the author's name, I actually feel that this would be better described as 'A novel [u]with[/u] Druss the Legend' (see the difference?), as the latter implies that Skilgannon, on his own, is not a strong enough character to hold the central position of the story. A fact that is wholly untrue (in my opinion) with Skilgannon one of Gemmell's better creations, even if he does follow the old hero-with-a-tortured-past shtick. Don't get me wrong: he's one of the better examples of that particular type of character, that Gemmell pulled off so well!
