4.0 out of 5 stars
Must-See,
By Jonathan Scott (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dark Crusade (Mass Market Paperback)
This book gave me an enjoyable read. The only problem with this book that I found was the fact that I have read the other books in the series. On its own, this is a great book, but I know how Kane acts in each of his other adventures.His character is inconsistant with how he acts in Bloodstone and later stories (novels or short stories): he doesn't learn from his mistakes. Orted Ak'Ceddi shows his incredulity when he constantly makes idiotic attacks on opposing forces. Kane should have known this when he made the decision to stay and fight when the city was infiltrated. Wagner did a god job with describing the events in great detail, and the only flaw that I could find (granted, a rather large one), is the inconsistency with the protagonists character. That is the only reason this book got a 4 star level: it didn't flow well with the rest of the series. On its own, it is a solid 5-star book, but the fact that it was in series made Dark Crusade a book less than its potential. I have read this book three times, and I am re-reading it again. Read this book: a fantastic choice, well drawn-up, and a great read.

Definitely a collectors item.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dark Crusade (Mass Market Paperback)
Without doubt, Kane is the most compelling and enigmatic hero/antihero ever. Scholar, sorceror and warrior, Kane wanders the ages manipulating entire kingdoms and races for his amusement.Cursed with immortality, the only remedy to alleviate infinte boredom is court intrigue and conquest. Karl Edward Wagner has created a character of striking contrasts in a world of medieval beauty and gothic horror. I first read this book in 1977 and haven't tired of rereading it since. Kane makes all other rugged heros and barbarians look like flower pressing dandies. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Good as Howard, spookier than King & as heavy as Pink Floyd,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dark Crusade (Mass Market Paperback)
Wagner's writing is so powerful that you are drawn into Kane's world so deeply that it seems you are on the battlefield in a mystical realm in a time before time...He's my favorite anti-hero.

Great book!!,
By Erik1988 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dark Crusade (Mass Market Paperback)
The pace is fast but with enough details to let you get into the characters. My only complaint (if you can call it as one) is that you MUST read the next book because this story does not resolve itself or the characters. Powerful characters and a lot of mystery surrounding the character Kane. Looking forward to reading the rest of the story!! |
