Legend by David Gemmell

5.0

I read this book in 2 days because I could not put it down. It was clear the book was written in more modern times because of the kind of humor, even though it's fantasy with swords and battles and the like. Gemmell did a fantastic job of filling out countless characters and each one was significant. I also appreciated that he didn't save people just because they were likable or close to the reader. In fact, the loss of those characters made this a much more believable-as far as plausibility within their world goes- story of what it truly means to face your fears. I'm adding the rest of the saga to my reading list, and looking forward to exploring Drenai more.
