Another great read but mightve worked better if Im not binge reading it.Shield of Thunder is the second book in the Troy trilogy by David Gemmell and in the case of this book, I think Ill start my review with the parts I didnt like. Binge reading this book immediately after the first book was quite an odd experience. Not only the book starts with the characters sailing to Troy again just like the first half of the first book, after all the time I've spent reading Helikaon and the otherRead Fantasy Book Critic's article The Trojan War - A Reinterpretation: "The Troy Trilogy" by David and Stella Gemmell Mini-review of SHIELD OF THUNDER: In the second book Shield of Thunder the reasons for Andromaches betrothal to Hektor are laid bare & they are not what the reader will expect.

I'm breezing past this series even though I really need to STOP. But I can't, because it's been a quite a while since I've been this addicted, and I really missed the thrill of it. I can't believe more people haven't read this series, mainly because Gemmell is such a good storyteller. That being said, this series is definitely not for everyone.

Meh. Picked this up on a whim, because I'm all about the Iliad and love reinterpretations of it. But my enjoyment of this one was more around a 2 star. Giving it 3 because I'm probably just being ungenerous, but I was super relieved to get the end of this too-long tome. Couple of mild spoilers ahead, but not hiding the review because they're mild. And if you're reading this and don't want mild spoilers, here's your warning.The reinterpretation was fine. He did a good job of making sure that his
What a gripping, dark, violent and heartbreaking tale! Can't wait to devour the final one in the series!
A good sequel to Lord of the silver bow. This book picks up where the fist book ended. The author has maintained the pace and the writing style as with the predecessor is captivating. The characters of Kalliades and Banokles border or cliche at times but as usual Odysseus saves the day. I loved the way greek myths have been interpreted in this book. Espcecially the stories made up by Odysseus. This series is no Lord of the Rings, but it certainly is quite entertaining. The simple writing
