A review by j2teapot
Warlock by Wilbur Smith

adventurous slow-paced

• Strong character development? No

3.0

A typical Wilbur Smith book and a good follow-on from the previous two, however, it lacked the tension and excitement I loved from the first two. Taita is now too over-powered, to the point that (even though he didn't) it was obvious he could have changed the outcome all on his own. Nefer never made a bad decision, always guided by Taita. There was nothing interesting left to read about him. Finally, the ending was terrible. After nearly 700 pages of waiting, it was extremely anti-climactic. 
So the book was fine, but I would not read it again.
