Discuss Containing Books The King Beyond the Gate (The Drenai Saga #2)

The King Beyond the Gate (The Drenai Saga #2), David GemmellThe King Beyond The Gate is a fantasy novel by British writer David Gemmell. It was published in 1985. It was the second book published by Gemmell, after Legend, published a year earlier. The book is set in the same fictional world as Legend, that of the Drenai, but is not a sequel in the usual sense as the events of the two books take place around a century apart. Thus the main protagonists of Legend are long since dead and play little

This is mightily similar to the Legend, although, there are some interesting characters thrown in. Overall, the book is a fun and easy read. Although Gemmell writes some of the worst male/female interactions in existence.

I expected this to fill in the holes in Druss' saga, but it was set after his time. He was a legendary hero to aspire to. It was a good S&S tale. I liked it at least as much as the first book. There were a lot of conflicted characters, none perfectly good or bad. No unicorns farting rainbows - some things just don't work out & good characters die.This isn't a deep complex series, though. That is not a criticism, just an observation. Gemmell just shows us the bit of the world we need,

Meh... huge disappointment. Started off great, but went slowly down the drain as the story progressed in the sense that it's a bit too similar to Legend. Three stars because I find Gemmell's style to be superb. Shame though.

I was super nervous when I started The King Beyond The Gate. You see, I read this book 10 years ago and the hero, Tenaka Khan was my first experience of a larger than life warrior. I absolutely loved him. So I had all these expectations and I started it with the worry, Would this book be as amazing as itd been the first time? When I read it the first time, I was much younger and I worried that my older self wouldnt be as impressed by Tenaka Khan as my younger self had been. I didnt want a bitter

3.5.Reviews of this book would have it seem that it is a carbon copy of the first? I certainly saw similarities, but for me it was unique enough to hold its own. However I didnt enjoy it as much as the first one, which is also a common theme of reviews.

Another good story by a great author. The master of creating the kind of hero people wish they could be. I only withheld a fifth star because part of the end was too rushed (didn't give any explanation about how Scaler captured Dros Delnoch after entering the fortress alone).This is a story about the overthrow Ceska, a tyrant emperor, by Tenaka Khan, Ananious, and brave mountain folk. Fine heroic fantasy in the face of impossible odds, especially against a special kind of monster called:
