It’s been a long time since I cried for a character’s death.
اما این مجموعه.. بخونیدش. و دوباره بخونیدش. بعد یک بار دیگه جلد اول و جلد آخر رو پشت سر هم بخونیدش.
این میشه خلاصهای از تاریخچهی بشریت و تمام مذاهب و ادیانش.

Good end. Wish there was more. Found it the author died while I was reading this book. Sad

Interesting conclusion to the saga. At first I didn't like that the same characters weren't in each book, but then I would get attached to the new characters. Very well done.

This is the fourth book in the Rigante series and is set four years after the events of book three.
The story mostly follows the events surrounding Gaise Macon, the son of the Moidart, as he is embroiled in a civil war in the Varlish lands.
Having read all four Rigante books back to back I have noticed that the writing style improved with each book, immersing you more into the events and characters making each successive book a step up from the last.
I thought the ending to book three was emotionally charged, but the ending to this book was even more powerful.
If you have read the previous books you will not want to miss one.

This was a solid end to a really enjoyable series; I think coming off of the back of Ravenheart (one of my favourite of Gemmell's books), this didn't quite live up to my expectations. This book was definitely split out into two sections: the parts following Gaiser and everything else. And I didn't like Gaiser. For me, his motivations were a little weak and dependent on a teenagery crush. I much preferred sections of this book that followed the Moidart and the Rigante, as I loved the journeys that the characters went on. The end also left me feeling really happy with how this series rounded off and I loved how this related to our history.

Sometimes like now I wonder if reading Gemmell is an extreme masochistic act.
Finishing this I feel a great deal of despair and pain and only a little joy.
So really read it, it's great.
PS. Never thought I'd say this but the Moidart may be one of the best characters ever created.
