92/150 This is the first book I've read by David Gemmell, but it definitely won't be the last. If you're in the mood for a epic fantasy, then this is it, but also there's some deeper thought going on also. What makes a hero? Who decides what is legend and what is truth? Can a hero escape his destiny? It's a rollicking adventure for sure, but deeper than the usual sword & sorcery story. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

It is all in ruins now but back then, under a younger sun, the city walls were strong and high.

Three Bladed Doom | Robert E Howard

For Lancashire, it's a sweltering day & I'm feeling a sense of desert heat reading this pulp adventure novella about Francis Xavier Gordon, known as El Borak "The Swift", amongst the cities, villages and encampments of the Near & Middle East.
The milieu is the Great Game played by the Western colonial powers, & while Gordon is a maverick with little time for bureaucracy, his loyalties lie with them.
There's a definite whiff of Yellow Peril ⬇️

Bookwomble ... about the secret society & hidden city of assassins that Gordon seeks to infiltrate, & every character, however minor, is identified by his (no women so far) supposed racial origin. That Howard uses that contemporary understanding of race, history & politics as narrative colour rather than polemic is a relief. These are the pulp stories that feed into Indiana Jones, Uncharted, etc: rollicking juvenile fun if they're not taken too seriously. 3mo

Ok so I have about 200 more pages left in this book and thought I‘d stop for the night as I have a major headache… but it‘s only 200pgs and I‘ve already read 480pgs today… but 🤦🏼‍♀️🧠 my brain hurts so I‘m stopping… I couldn‘t put it down before because it‘s addictive I need to know what‘s happening.. I‘ll have to wait until tomorrow now
