The Hawk Eternal by David Gemmell
3.0
More like 2,5.
Some good moments and development, but extremely rushed conclusion, main character and driving force of the first book completely sidetracked (and that's being generous), antagonists that kill, plunder, rape and wage war just because, group of teenagers turning into the strongest/wisest group the clan has/will have in their whole history...
But it did have some good development, specially how Caswallon teaches Gaelen, those little tidbits of information and knowledge, specially about survival and life, and that I didn't know always get points with me. Some curious things with the time travel that you can backtrack on the previous book. The godlike powers of the druids felt amazing.
But while they are not bad characters in any way, there's no way Caswallon and Galen stand up to Sigarni, Obrin, Ballistar, Asmidir and Ironhand, and we never hear (except for tidbits) from them again or what happened.
